Monroe sensa-trac or Rough Country? Another shock thread.

[MtnJIMMY]

Anyone running Monroe's? Found front and rears shipped for about $75. Price is right I've also seen the Rough Country nitro 9000's for about $150 shipped. Or is Bilstein's really worth it? I just don't know squat about shocks. With the exception of some rough dirt roads this will be mainly be a dd on pavement.

Sensa trac is nice for a car, I never tried them on a truck, but if you are on a budget I would try them, they are cheap enough.
They are one step above OEM with their stepped stiffness from soft in the middle to firm just above and below.

I've had some Monroes before. They did okay. They kept down on body roll for sure. They were definately better than running worn out stock junk. Those Rough Country Nitros will probably ride a little better (stiffer too), but they're are still not nearly on the level of Bilstiens which are monotubes.

Wow. Where was that at? Do they still have this deal going? Are you talking about the remote resevoir 5150s or the normal shock?
