I don't know if the Monroe Senstracs are available for our trucks, but sold the wifes van with over 200K miles on the senstrac shocks and were still good. I bought a pair of napa shocks and when I opened the box, they had monroe on them. No problem with them so far. JMHO

Got the reflex b/c I didn't want a hard ride like a work truck but i didn't want a ride that was too soft and non responsive. So I got in the middle and it seems to have worked out so far. Will see how they hold up go down a few bad roads to get to work just to get out of traffic. I guess that is probably what weakened the old ones.

Over the years on a few cars I've owned because of the word 'heavy duty'and the valving on the shock specs I have ordered OE when replacement needed.The HD aftermarket ones you could feel every crack/seam on the road.The OEs put the ride back like new.Kinda the same with brake pads and load range/belts on tires.My 1998 truck came with a B load range.The replacements I put on were a C. Darn if they didn't bring that can feel every crack in the payment feeling.My next set was hard to fine but I went back with a B rating.Sure rides a lot nicer.I've known several techs whom would buy OE over aftermarket shocks on cars/suvs for the same reason.Not to say on these trucks to use OE but you vary from design sometimes the subtle results are not nice.I'd be tempted to use OE on my 06 Gran Marquis when the time arises.Same with load range/belt tires on it.It rides NICE and don't want to harsh en it up.
