Years ago replaced worn shocks on a 87 dodge D150 with Monroe Gas Magnums and it was like a new truck. Time for new shocks and thought I would try the newest from Monroe. What a mistake!Tried the Reflex on a 2002 Dakota 4X4 Quad cab. 134K on truck and though no signs of shock leaks decided to replace my shocks. Bad choice.While cornering improved, ride quality dropped dramatically. Enough that the wife now refuses to ride in the truck. New shocks are jittery on neighborhood roads and harsh to uncomfortable on more severe rough pavement. Smooth highway is a good ride but that is not the reality of daily driving.What a waste of money. I much preferred the ride of the old shocks but had thrown them out.Don't buy unless you always carry a load and suggest you ride or drive another truck with same reflex shocks before buying.
