Review on 🔧 Upgrade Performance with Monroe 911502 Reflex Monotube Shock Absorber by Timothy Harper

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good for Z71 but not great

I like these as the ride is good but not great when I get into really rough terrain. It's usually fine around town (we have third-world streets here in Tucson), but I actually got thrown off a truck and nearly got into an accident in Valencia between Kolb and I-10. The track I'm talking about should be the proving ground for all shock manufacturers. They worked great with a load, but not so well without a load. I haven't had any off-road issues, but they seem to compress too much. Overall, it's better to drive unladen than the Bilstein, but less efficient under load and heavy off-road use. If you mostly only drive your 4xy on city streets, they're pretty good. As a recommended setup for the Z71 Chevy, I still have a few reservations. I'd recommend them if you're just in a truck to be in a truck, but if you're really going to use it and go off-road or load more, there are better options. .
