Motorcraft Shocks

Does anyone know who makes Motorcraft shocks and does the Monroe Sense a Trac shock give more of a stiff ride over the Motorcraft.

I put the Sensa-Trac on my F150 about 3000 miles ago. Too soft. They're coming off as soon as weather breaks. They're getting replaced with the Gas-magnums.

I put the Sensa-Trac on my F150 4x4. Almost all the driving I do is empty, and on pot holed streets. The Sensa-Tracs smoothed out the ride quite a bit. They are fine for me. I can see if I was hauling a lot of weight, or going off pavement regularly, they would not be the best choice.

There are a lot of good shocks out there that are way better than the stock ones. Just make sure you get a nice set of gas monotubes.
