Monroe Reflex Install

Installed 4 new Monroe reflex shocks on the f250 this morning. Kinda dreading it but it only took me 35 mins and all the skin is intact on my hands thanks to new Mechanix Gloves. Truck rides alittle better. 109000 miles on stock ones.

Frank the only to get smooth ride on I 10 in Lousianna is to fly over it in an airplane, new shocks won't help too much

You gotta try going both ways through Birmingham Alabama on I 65. I just did it this weekend and don't know if I'll ever walk again.

How does the Monroe Reflex shock compare with Monroe Gas-Magnum shocks (34686- front,
34687-rear)?
