Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / May 2005Choice for new shocks
I have a '95 Ram 1500 2 wheel drive with 95,000 miles. It has a towing package, but I don't recall the axle ratio. Engine is a 318. I've only had it a couple months. Gets better gas mileage than the 2002 QC 4x4 I used to have. Seems it could ride a bit better than it does. Would new shocks help? If so, what would the resident experts recommend? Ed Dowdy Bilstien or Edelbrock mono tube double acting. I put the Edelbrock IAS on my 3500 and they work great, even with 4300# of camper in the bed. I put the Bilstiens on my toy Taco, and they are much better then the OEMs.. >I have a '95 Ram 1500 2 wheel drive with 95,000 miles. It has a towing >package, but I don't recall the axle ratio.

Also not sure of the axle ratio (does it matter?). Same brands? What's the usual life of OEM shocks on a truck like mine? It's my first Dodge and first 4x4. jmc Napa the good ones at 50 some odd dollars a piece seem to be just fine.

Like David said, 50-something apiece and very worth it. >Napa the good ones at 50 some odd dollars a piece seem to be just fine. >Made by Monroe [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] >> >> jmc |
