Question:

I plow with this truck.  I do not have the torsion

bars turned up but may in the future.  I have monroe muscle front end load

boosters installed.  I would like a shock that would work well with the

the weight on the front end.  I also tow a trailer in the summer so I

would like a shock that handles loads well.  Thanks.

Answer:

Note that shocks do not support weight, the springs do that on a suspension.

But to use a durable shock, with a lot of dampening (power), you want to use the Bilstein HD Heavy Dutys.

Those are a monotube design.
