i have a 99 ford explorer and i tow with it quite often. i have monroe max air shocks and it turns out one went bad after only 6 months. so my question is what are good rear shocks for towing? a stiff ride does not bother me at all.

Get discount suspension parts.

I drive a 2003 G35 Coupe, and no I’m not looking for any super performance shocks I just want a comfortable ride, I’ve heard KYB is best but would that be better then the regular dealership shocks, and that monroe shocks are stiff?? My main factor is a smooth ride but if I can save alot of bucks while im at it why not? Also taking suggestions for other brands

Rear Suspension

Alex D asked:


have a 2004 GMC Sierra 1500 2WD and a few months ago I installed a lift kit that consistes of 4″ lift spindles, 2″ coil spacers, 4″ rear blocks and rear shocks. The manufacturer of the kit (Suspension Tech) said that I did not have to replace the front shocks to use this kit. However, after installing the kit, I noticed that I was experiencing quite a bit of rebound whenever I hit dips in the road or went over speed bumps. After just a couple of weeks, one of the front shocks broke in half, so I replaced them with Monroe nitrogen shocks that were basically the same length as the stock ones. Still, however, I am experiencing the same amount of rebound. Some suggest that I might need bigger and better shocks, but I find it a little hard to believe (since I paid about $70 per shock, they are nitogen shocks, and it’s only a 2WD half-ton truck). So my question is: do i, in fact, need bigger and better shocks? Or could my problem possibly be because the aftermarket shocks I have on there now are too short; and if so, what length shocks do I need to replace them with? Any suggestions as to a remedy would be greatly appreciated (as it is very annoying to be bouncing up and down going over any kind of dip in the road).
