A lot of us have found improvement with quite a few different premium shocks. I don't think anyone can say one in particular is the maximum performer over the others. I went with the cheaper monotube Edelbrock IAS myslf. Eliminated the sideways jump like Jeff says. Don't go with stock for sure, the valving doesn't seem well suited to an unladen truck.

Lead, follow, or get out of the way

jeff, Im gettin mixed messages and thought maybe I hadnt phrased my question right, thats why I rewrote it? Now I here monroe max air adjustable gives the most comfort? Im lost an comfort is all I care about because the truck will never carry or haul anything. fevertree1
