Default New Shocks Today

The truck is going into the shop today to get the front shocks replaced with Monroe's. I hope they make a substantial difference.

The ride quality seems to have decreased rapidly over the last couple thousand miles, and I think they have finally worn out.

I am going to install new rear shocks myself. I can handle that job in the cold.

The stock parts lasted 48,000 miles before I couldn't take it.

Will update this afternoon when I pick it up.

You will be extremely happy, I replaced mine at 19k, it's was an incredible difference. Yeah, at 19k, the fronts were toast, unbelievable!

Haven't tried the Monroe's but I recently went with Rancho's on the front and back. They made a huge difference. Good luck with it.
