Review on Monroe 58636 Load Adjust Shock Absorber by Johnny Weber

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great price great product easy install

Installed these on the back of my classic 2007 4.8 liter Silverado today. Initially they are very smooth, quiet and ride great. Installation took about 30 minutes. I can fit under my truck without jacking it up, so I got under the truck, unscrewed the bottom of the driver's side shock, slid it out, got the truck under the tongue, and kept checking how high you have to go to get it nail the old (fully extended) strut to the bracket below. When I saw that I could secure the shock fully extended, I unscrewed the top of the shock and it fell off. *Note: My truck tires were still on the ground. I bolted the new shock on top and the bottom was the perfect length so I just bolted on the bottom shock and did the same on the other side. I used a battery punch with a 21mm socket, a large crescent wrench and a 3 ton jack. Light. I'll be updating this post after towing my 22ft weekend warrior (the main reason for the update). Other than that, I'm happy with my purchase. **UPDATE: I towed a trailer with new shocks in August and the shocks have greatly improved my truck. Compared to the KYB Monomax shocks that the truck had, I was in control the entire time. Without interfering with the KYB Monomax shocks, they held up perfectly for the 50,000+ miles that I've had. I just had to replace them and am so glad I went with them. I recently sold this truck and am now looking for a new set for my current truck. Feel free to buy them with confidence and zeal.
