Default Monroe Sensa Trac shocks

Anyone have them on their ride? Pros, cons, recomendations? What about the "load adjusting shocks" from Monroe. The ones with the coil spring around the outside. Anyone have any experience with them? Thanks.

sensa tracks are junk, I was at a tennaco seminar few years ago, and they explained that the nice cush ride at ride hight comes from bypass in the body about halfway in the stroke (looks like lil ridges )....read the shock doesnt work in the middle. the reflex are alright though

Never experienced them but I'm a true believer in bilsteins, we put them on my old mans 2002 Z71 and they're great over stock, he only had 38k on the stock "de carbon" junk and they were shot!

I put the load adjusting on and love them. Far better ride than the stockers and you can't get the thing to squat. For a daily driver or if you pull a lot and would say go for it.

I have Them on my truck with a 4/6 drop. I love them, They ride a lot better than the Toxic or Bell-Tech shocks I have had in the past!

I have em, don't hate em and I don't love em. I forsee myself swapping them out sometime in the near future. That is, unless I spend the cash on something to make my brick of a truck faster

I just put some Rancho RSXs on my Z71 and it's much better than stock. Feels more solid and less tuna boat like. As for towing or heavy loads.. Well I havn't done any of that but I'll let you know how they do at the drag strip next week.
