Which shocks to use ??
On 10/12/07, I had all 4 shocks replaced on my '01 F-150 XLT 4 X 4 OFF ROAD pkg., with a 5.4 engine.
We replaced the old shocks with Monroe Sensa Trac shocks. (Part # 37133, and part # 37134). The left rear shock is leaking some, and I am going to replace it/both rear. In the summertime, I pull a fish/ski deck boat, about every other weekend. Are the Monroe's worth putting back on, -OR- should I look into something else? What are you guys using ? Is there a limited lifetime warranty on these shocks, and what does that imply?? Miles, pro-rating, or what ??
Thanx

On my 02' I'm on my second set of Rancho shocks. They are nothing special for they are the ones that came with my truck with the off road package for that year. Haven't had a problem with them but with what hybris said, around here people say bilsteins top o' the line.

sensa trac's are garbage. i work at oreillys and i've seen them leak in the package before. i would look into monroe reflex. they have impact sensors that stiffen up when you hit a pot hole or something. and are softer on smooth roads for comfort

Well, because of the bills that I have, and the lack of work, I used the SensaTrac's again. They warranted them. I'm not sure that I will be happy, BUT, until I go back to work, .................. Dern taxes !!!!!! 
Thanx, for all of the input !!!!
