Monroe Load Adjusting Rear Suspension Shock Absorber and Coil Spring Assembly

nice sturdy coilover shocks. firm ride and these really do hold up to heavier loads compared to thw stock shocks. Be advised though, my Chevy Trailblazer rear height increased at least 1-1/2 inch. I ended up putting 4 cinder blocks in trunk over the axles to help lower and better control the stiffer ride. If you want smooth ride and don't need to carry much weight, then use stock replacements because otherwise, with a slightly raised rear transfers a lot of weight to front axles and it did change the handling with steering. Again I say, I needed to the load cinder blocks in trunk to help control that slight problem. I ended up doing a leveling kit to raise front a bit, I used new coils and bilstein b8 5100 series adjustable struts since the factory struts had 218,000 miles on 'em and certainly needed replaced anyway. So that was like gwtting two bonuses at once.

These were a great addition to my '05 Chevy Trailblazer LS SWB, for towing a 3500lb Hybrid Camper. Really increased the towing capability. Also added airbags to my springs. I could tow 1000lb tongue weight if I had the hitch to do it(not recommended). These did not effect the ride at all. They did make the blazer firmer in the corners and in my opinion, it drives better. *Note: These will raise your rear-end about 2", so plan on a leveling kit and line-up as well.

Very good item

I received these rusted on the piston right out of the box. I can't believe that these were shipped like this. You think they would of been inspected first.

Very easy to install, they look great and really helped stablize my 2004 Chevy Trailblazer. They lifted the back up about 1 1/2 inches and it rides so smooth. Great shock for a great price especially when you add the $40.00 off $100.00 coupon code.
