I was debating about the gas magnum and the reflex. as the reflex was supposed to ride better from the information they(monroe support) gave me. So far all I have done is replace the fronts with the reflex series and am very happy with the results. But on the other hand I am only towing once maybe twice a month, the rest is daily driver stuff. So I opted for a better riding shock vs. performance when towing.

The Other Problem I Have Is That On All Web Sites, Monroe, Auto Parts, Etc It List The Part Numbers For F350 4x4 But Does Not Say If They Are Ok For Dually And Crew Cab. They List In Some Sites For 2x4 But Not Dually. Im Pretty Sure They Will Work, Guess I Will Just Have To Get Them And Hope For The Best. Thanks Again.

I emailed tech support at monroe and got a reply to my questions pretty quickly along with a parts list for my vehicle.

Just installed the Monroe Reflex shocks on my 99 f-350, CC, SRW and love them. Installed them on all 4 corners. Had the Magnum shocks on there previously. I strongly suggest going with the Reflex over the Magnum. The price is a couple $$ more a shock but the ride from the Reflex shock is far superior. I honestly could not believe how much nicer the truck goes over bumps. Get the Reflex shocks. I don't think you will be disappointed.

I used the NAPA reflex (made by Monroe)shocks on my DRW great ride empty and no rebound when loaded. I would definitely use them again.
