I got the Monroe "Gas magnums" - A bit more expensive than the Reflexes, they were $113 for 4 shipped.

"The MonroeŽ Gas MagnumŽ truck shock absorber is designed for mid to full size, hard working pick-up trucks and vans. These units provide firm control without a harsh ride. With up to twice the fluid capacity of standard 1" bore shocks, Monroe Gas Magnum truck shocks work more efficiently with less effort."

I agree there's probably something to be said about adjustables...

I don't know if this is the best price but I just order a set Wednesday from Summit racing and they were $89.95 each but ground shipping is free with a $8.95 handling charge.

Sorry, but there is no way to possibly compare a twin-tube cheap shock like a Rancho, rough country, doetsch, etc. to a high pressure monotube.

The control over the axle is sooo much better with a monotube. There's alot more to it than dampening "rate" which goes to heck when the shock heats up, and a non-pressurized or low pressure (like rough country/doetsch "gas" shocks) loses its control very quickly.

It's a more mild example of why the desert guys run reservoir shocks.. we just aren't cycling the shocks as far.

I traded my Doetsch's for Rancho 9000's on my crawler (which also sees playtime, so it's not just slow speed), and they still stunk. Bilsteins are now installed, and it's incredible.

I haven't looked up the pricing...but I assume the Bilstein's cost quite a bit more than a Rancho?

You might want to look at the ProComp MX6 shocks. I think they are heavier duty that the 9000's.

Just got my Bilsteins today for $260 delivered.

I am going with the multishock setup with my lift, i want tripple front, dual rear. To buy the bilsteins over the superlift shocks is a big difference for all 10 shocks, but, I think it might be worth it.

Its going to be a 6" superlift with tripple front, dual rear shocks, and 37" tires. I haul a 2500lb toolbox in my long bed truck, and I go on many, many rough roads with bad washboard and stuff.

Anyone have any experience with the bilsteins and multi shock setups?

Thanks.

So who's running dual shocks on a 2nd gen? anyone?

I had dual fronts on the last truck with a 6" lift. I liked it a lot, but now I have Rancho 9000s and I like those really well.... adjustability is awesome.
