Question:

I plow with this truck. I do not have the torsion bars turned up but may in the future. I have monroe muscle front end load boosters installed. I would like a shock that would work well with the the weight on the front end. I also tow a trailer in the summer so I would like a shock that handles loads well. Thanks.

Answer:

Note that shocks do not support weight, the springs do that on a suspension.

But to use a durable shock, with a lot of dampening (power), you want to use the Bilstein HD Heavy Dutys.

Those are a monotube design.
