Review on 🔧 Monroe Reflex Truck Shock Absorber for Enhanced 911187 Performance by Zachary Spaulding

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good handling improvement, semi-rigid ride

I bought these to fit a 2005 long platform Ram 1500 Hemi. They replaced the original shock absorbers which have done approximately 190,000 miles. The difference was like day and night. The ride quality with these shocks compares to other "stock" truck shocks is firm but still forgiving. I've only carried lighter loads (300-400 pounds) with very little rear end sag. Even without the rear anti-roll bar, overall handling is better. I prefer better handling over a softer ride, that's great. However, this can definitely be felt when driving on the "washboard” of the motorways. Installing in a truck with brand new suspension components gives a "more precise" ride and handling feel than the old components.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Easily repairable
