Description of 58601 Monroe Shocks & Struts Coil Spring Assembly with Shock Absorber

REDUCES SAG UNDER LOAD -- Ideal for occasionally hauling or towing varying loads; heavy gauge, calibrated coil spring reduces sag when loaded up to 1,200 lbs. (capacity limited by suspension, tires and transmission; see owner's manual). EXCEPTIONAL HANDLING -- Tuned specifically for each application, full-displaced valving automatically adjusts to road extremes to provide ride consistency. CONSISTENT RIDE -- OE all-weather fluid contains special modifiers to handle extreme temperatures and PTFE-banded piston helps reduce friction between the piston and pressure tube to enhance responsiveness to changing road surfaces. LONGER SERVICE LIFE -- Self-lubricating fluid seal retains gas and reduces excessive friction against the piston rod to help reduce premature wear while heavy-duty nitrocarburized rod delivers long life. IMPROVES PERFORMANCE -- Nitrogen gas-charge maintains tire-to-road contact for improved ride and handling by reducing aeration and shock fade.

Installation tips for the best shock absorbers

WOW what a pain in the ass until my stepfather made me an offer. And I felt stupid afterwards. What I did was jack up the truck by the pivot and then put jack stands under the front leaf spring mount. Then remove the old worn shock absorber, attach the top of the spring shock absorber. Then lower the jack under the pegs, then slightly raise and level the bracket. Repeat on the other side of course, using a good jack and making sure both rear tires are off.

Excellent Choice - Replacement Parts

Fits my F150 1991 2WD well. Difficult to install as they are fully stretched and difficult to compress. I could do this entirely by hand, but I wouldn't recommend using a jack/spring compressor. The next day 2100 kilos of scrap were removed, the truck squatted a bit but was stable. Added about 2 inches of ground clearance when unloaded, which was nice and the ride wasn't choppy. A very good mix of both worlds. Delivery is fast, I also buy a kit for my fronts and jeep.

Pros
  • Shocks, Struts & Suspension
Cons
  • Minus Present

The rear of my F150 sagged and I noticed it bounced when loaded, when I swapped out the shocks I found one dead dead. These load balance dampers meet all the requirements I was looking for. They easily mount to standard mounting points with all standard equipment, handling is vastly improved and the rear of the truck is a few inches higher than before. Note that these are more difficult to install than regular shocks as you have to compress them a bit to fit. Use a jack or spring compressor if…
