Monroe air shocks

[funnyman06]

Anyone have any take on these. Looking at getting 2 for the rear end of my truck. Im crusing 4100 miles in about 3 weeks and will be pulling a small uhaul. Ideas or suggestions are extremely welcome.

Thanks

You shouldn't need air shocks for a small trailer with your F250.....

Agreed, I haven't seen U-haul rent anything a stock F-250 couldn't handle. Air shocks aren't a great idea anyway since people use them to support weight when the shock mounting points were not intended to hold a load.

Well i know i wont need them to pull a small uhaul, but it looks like they are not recommended because they put a load on the small tabs that the shocks bolt to.

So the next question would be is it worth the money to get 2 bilstein shocks in the rear, i can get them for 60 a piece, or should i be cheap and get some rancho RS5000s in the rear since i can get them from work for like 40 bucks a piece. so many choices so little time...
