shocks

I am being told that KYB shocks are really good towing shock. I have an 2001 x with 7.3 towing a 28' towhauler. I was wondering what you guys thought about the KYB shocks or any other shock I need to upgrade. Thanks again.

Dad has a set of Edelbrock IAS on his F350 for the bed camper and a large trailer.

Me I prefere the Bilsteins.

I'm sold on KYB Monomax. I've had them on two different trucks and love them. They are tuned specifically to each make and model.

Yeah, I got the Monroe Reflex Shocks, to be honest, I really wanted some Bilsteins. They're the best suited for the job.

Plus the warranty is good too. Lifetime unless you do something stupid to it.

We have Edelbrock IAS shocks on ours, a friend has Bilstiens on his. I prefer the Bilstiens, but the Edelbrocks are a close second. I haven't towed with our X yet, so I'm not sure how they'll do under those conditions.

Thanks it sound like I am going to go with the Bilstiens. Is there any certain ones or do you just order by the make of your vehicle. Thanks agian for all the help.
