need new shocks. looking at monroe's.
Either Sensa-trac front and rear 37207 and 37208
front and back http://www.monroe.com/products/sensatrac_truck.asp
or
reflex front 911188 and rear sensa-trac level ride 58640
front http://www.monroe.com/products/reflex_truck.asp
rear http://www.monroe.com/products/sensa...justshocks.asp
don't quite understand why monroe.com would recommend a mixture of reflex and sensa-trac
only reason i would consider option 2 is that with my trailer it would help keep the truck level. I don't like using the weight distribution hitch for short trips, too much effort.
However I bet the ride height control rear sensa-tracs would make the ride stiff.
any thoughts appreciated. i bought monroes before, priced ok i think. about $43 each for the sensa-tracs. Little more for the reflex and sensa-trac in option 2.

I think you might be mis reading what Sensa-Trac® is doing. A shock does not adjust the ride hieght, unless it is a air-shock. Sensa-Trac® is adjusting it's valving to compensate for a heavier load. Heavier the load the stiffer the valving (shock). Simple solution is to install overload bags.

i understand what you are saying, however this shock http://www.monroe.com/products/sensa...justshocks.asp has that spring and it states that it helps keep the back from sagging. seems to me this shock would be rougher riding empty and loaded than the regular sensatrac.
