Choice for new shocks

Edward L. Dowdy 2 May 2005 05:04:24
 I have a '95 Ram 1500 2 wheel drive with 95,000 miles. It has a towing
package, but I don't recall the axle ratio. Engine is a 318. I've only had
it a couple months. Gets better gas mileage than the 2002 QC 4x4 I used to
have. Seems it could ride a bit better than it does. Would new shocks help?
If so, what would the resident experts recommend?

 Bilstien or Edelbrock mono tube double acting. I put the Edelbrock
IAS on my 3500 and they work great, even with 4300# of camper in the
bed. I put the Bilstiens on my toy Taco, and they are much better then
the OEMs..

Ok, how about for a 2001 Dakota SLT 4x4 with towing package? Also not
sure of the axle ratio (does it matter?). Same brands?

What's the usual life of OEM shocks on a truck like mine? It's my first
Dodge and first 4x4.

 Napa the good ones at 50 some odd dollars a piece seem to be just fine.

 Ditto the Monroes. I put on a set of 4 Monroe Gas-Magnums (yellow body)
and am very happy with the ride and control. Like David said, 50-something
apiece and very worth it.
