Question:

I’m looking for a high end shock that will give me less body roll in my 2004 Durango. I don’t mind the ride quality that I currently have, but I would like a little stiffer. I also tow a lot with it . Usually items ranging from 2000 pounds, up to about 5000 pounds. So I also need something that’s going to perform while pulling. I had my eyes on the KYB MonoMax shocks but I can’t find them anywhere for my application. Thanks!

Answer:

For better handling and control, you want to use a monotube design shock.

We have Bilstein, Edelbrocks and KYB Gasajust, those are all monotube shocks.

Some tech differences are mentioned here -

The Bilstein shocks are the best.

Since you work the vehicle some while towing, the KYB Gasajust shocks would be a good second choice
