130k+ and they are feeling a little mushy. I only haul with a couple of 16' bumper pulls and have no plans for anything larger. Anyone have suggestions?

:lol:
Mine has 112,000 and the shocks are shot. If I don't trade I'll replace them. Don't know with what.slick4591":3seqcrh5 said:130k+ and they are feeling a little mushy. I only haul with a couple of 16' bumper pulls and have no plans for anything larger. Anyone have suggestions?
I should add that Monroe makes Rancho.. so I don't have great hopes for these ones either, but I'm hoping that their "premium" line would be a little betterslick4591":1m2jsajt said:Monroe used to be one of the top, but I hearing they are pretty much crap now. Thanks.
what brand was on it from the factory? I thought they came with BIlstein...slick4591":4z1nv83d said:Duramax designates that it's at least a 3/4 ton diesel truck. A lot heavier in the front end, which I believe requires a different front shock than a 1/2 ton gas truck. I've look at the Bilstein but never used them. I appreciate the suggestions.

I usually trade every two years but last fall it was going to cost to much so I kept mine. I bet I spend every dime in repairs I would have spent trading. Or more I bet.slick4591":bl4u6n7o said:I'd almost bet that it's been better than 30 years since I bought shocks for a vehicle. Seemed like I always traded before they needed them. Last truck I had was a 1/2 ton Silverado with 110,000 and they were still good. Before that I drove a Jeep Cherokee that the shocks felt like new ones the day I traded it.
