Are Monroe sensi-trac shocks any good? I have them on my X and they ride fine. If I were to get some bilstiens(sp) would it handle better or sit any higher?
 






I have bilsteins in my my truck and they ride great, but on they wont make your truck sit any higher. A common misconception people have is the the wieght of the vehicle is supported by the shocks when its actually supported by the spings (torsion bars in front, leaf springs in back).
 






The Bilstines will ride firmer than the Monroes.
 






Do a search on Bilsteins. I found that there's a lot that aren't too happy with them. Then do a search for Gabriels VST and Edelbrock IAS.
