Not too many discussions on shocks (other then the 200+ pages on Bilsteins in the lifted section). 4 years old and 58K, I swapped the rear shocks yesterday for Monroe Reflex. If you haven't done it, really easy, took more time to get the truck up on jackstands and get the tools out than to actually pull the wheel well liners and R&R the shocks. I didn't have a 13/16" crowsfoot ( should have bought one), ended up cutting down an old 13/16" open end (other end was 25/32") which I don't think I've ever used, a crows foot would definitely been even easier and quicker.
Back to the shocks, going to try the Reflex, did a little running around last night , rear end seemed to be more tame over the rough roads we have around here (lot of cracks from freeze/thaw). Next up are the fronts. I want to do about 1" front end lift, right now truck has 2" rake (37" F/ 39" R), really don't want it level, just a little added height up front. Leaning to Eibach or Bilstein adjustable (set at .75") or Monroe Reflex with a spacer.
