Second question more info I have a 1979 van type class c motor home.  f40 I found the bilstien Shock # f4-b46-0925-HO It looks like the correct shock. Is Monroe # 555037 front and 555038 rear a good shock for the truck. the front axle wt. is 3660 lb. The total GVW is 10600. I hope you can steer me in the right direction.

This is my third email on the dogde moter home F40 I have more info. The front shock is the type for the b350 but the size is 18″
extended from tip to tip 13″ at its smallest. The rear is 22″ extended and15″ at its smallest. The rear has a bolt to hold it top and bottom. Looks like the shock for the B350. Waiting for help before I buy.

Answer:

It looks like The Monroe Gasmagnum part number 555038 will fit your RV in the rear, it has a collapsed length of 12.875″ and an expanded of 21″. The 555037 has a collapsed length of 10.125″ and an expanded of 15.625″, BUT it sounds like you might be measuring different than monroe is, they measure shocks from the center of the eyelet to the BASE of the stud, not the tip, which may mean that your measurement was a couple inches longer than theirs and the 555037 might fit.  You can see the technical sheet for those shocks, along with the exact measurements of the mounting points, here:

Question: What kind of shocks will soften the ride on my 07 Lincoln Mark LT.

There are a few different options for your application. Monroe has the Sensatrac brand which will be a direct OEM factory replacement, and offer a similar feel to when the original shocks were new. Bilstein and KYB both offer a monotube design shock for your vehicle which will be a bit stiffer. You can see all of the options on our website by clicking the link below.

Answer: The Monroe Conversion Kit 90007 replaces the two rear shocks. It completely replaces the OEM self-leveling system with the Monroe Load-levelers. The kit includes the Monroe Load-leveler shocks, and heavy duty springs. You can see them by clicking on the link below.

Question:

31,000#  LOOKING AT MONROES (EXISTING) 557034 / 035  . BILSTEINS  ?? YOU ARE WELCOME TO GIVE ME YOUR ADVISE & PRICE. LOT OF NEGATIVES ON BILSTEINS ON THE FOROMS [TO STIFF] THANKS

Answer:

The Bilsteins are a heavy duty shock, so they will be stiffer than the Monroes, but will give you more control over the RV, especially at highway speeds and on rough roads.  The parts we have equivalent to your Monroes are the  F4-BE5-B402-H0 in the front and  F4-BE5-B403-H0.  Those parts and the Monroes you have right now aren’t designed for the 2002 Endeavor chassis, they are only recommended for 2004+ roadmaster shassis with 8 airbags, but if the Monroes are working for you, the Bilsteins will fit.
