Question:

Looking to replace shocks - both front & rear.  Would

like best performance possible, not a racer by any means but sometimes

like to have a little fun.  Do not really tow or haul much, occasional

motorcycle in truck bed.  Intend to keep vehicle for quite some time so I

want a very good product but I can not afford to go overboard on something

I really do not need.  Read some about Monroe Reflex but I am not sure

what they provide over other Monroe products or how they compare to other

manufacturer’s products for that matter.

I also have a question on these “REFLEX” shocks… I noticed that there

seems to be two versions, one is just called “REFLEX” while the other is

called “REFLEX TRUCK” - is there a difference between the two really?

Thank you in advance for any information you can provide.

Answer:

For performance, you want to use a high pressure gas monotube design.

The Bilsteins are the best monotubes we carry.

All Reflex use the same insides, car or truck,  though in some cases (some

vehicles) they offer a twin tube (non-performance) unit or a monotube similar to a Bilstein.

Regardless of brand, a monotube will out perform a twin tube design, that is a matter of science.
