Need help with shocks for towing and hauling


Recommended Posts

Posted

I am in the market for a new set of shocks. I have a horrible bounce to my truck and the stock shocks are shot. I just installed new spring shackles and 2025lbs. springs from KC general springs to help aid with my hauling and towing woes. I'm looking for a stiff shock that won't break the bank. A couple I have been considering are the Monroe reflex shocks they are a monotube nitro shock and the rough country 2.0 shocks. Either way I want a stiff shock, this truck is only used for hauling and towing not worried about ride comfort just need something to manage the weight better.

 

Truck Specs:

2003 Silverado 1500 4wd Z71

New 2025lbs. rear springs

Original stock shocks on all 4 corners

Hauling firewood

5500lbs. 23' boat loaded

8 ply tires 285/75/16

If you want stiff, Monroe Gas Magnums. They are about the stiffest out there.

I like the Rancho 9000s do to the fact they are adjustable.

 

Tried Bilstien 4600s on dually. Rides great with just truck, but add a trailer the front bounces a little bit more than I would like.
