Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Monroe 58653 Load Adjust Shock Absorber by Monroe by Lee Rodriguez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works better than expected

I installed these on my 2011 F-150 SCrew 4x4. Installation was very easy and straightforward. Installation only took 10 minutes but my truck was on a two post lift. I've only had them for a few weeks so can't comment on how they're holding up, but I'm impressed with how they perform. With no load, the ride was very similar to the series, but with a load it feels more manageable. It rides stiffer when loaded, but not stiff, but it doesn't float like it used to when it's 800 pounds in the rear. The biggest difference was towing my 7000lb 30ft RV. It didn't squat that much even when I loosened the WD hitch a bit (I would have to adjust the hitch to level the RV). Before that, the truck dragged normally, but it was a bit buoyant and the camper pushed it a little, especially over bumps. But with the Monroe Load Adjust shocks, it felt a lot more manageable, like it would no longer float or be pushed around by the camper, even over big bumps. I wish I had installed them years ago when I bought my camper, but I'm glad I have them now. hope they hold up.
