I am looking to improve the ride comfort of my 04' QC 2WD. Now, I don't expect it to ride like a Caddy, but I would like to minimize the amount of rattling my teeth experience.
My question is this. Which brand of shocks do you think is better? And why?

Bilstien HD or Monroe Reflex.

Thanks for your input!!

 

I also have an 04 QC 4X2 and it's one of the smoothest riding vehicles I have ever had. If you're talking about hopping in the rear, I don't believe shocks will cure that. Since it is a truck, you need weight in the rear to smooth out the ride.

 

I custom made (2) small plastic boxes filled with a total of over 300 lbs. of concrete mix that look very nicely, that can be easily removed. It has helped tremondously on the smoothness of the ride as well as adding traction during winter weather. These boxes set against the rear tailgate. Just something for you to think about.

 

Adding more weight in the back will for sure smooth out the hopping in the rear end.
