Monroe Reflex shocks
How much do they affect the ride when the truck is empty? Do they harden the ride at all or more than regular Monroe gas-magnums? I'm thinking with 170,000 miles on the factory shocks its time t...

We drive a 2015 Chevy 2500HD 4x4 SB and are looking at shocks now at 48K miles. Should have done it sonner... We carry a 3000 LB truck camper and almost always carry the camper, not a trailer... very seldom drive empty -- got a car for around town.
SO, tell us 4600/5100 Bilstein's or Monroe Reflex and WHY one over the other in this application.
This should be interesting, what say you Cummins12V98
Not sure whqt you're asking??? Cummins2014??
What I am asking, well for the past 20 years I have owned 1 ton SRW trucks, they ride pretty rough ,no matter how I size it up. IMO the Monroe Reflex is as good as any , could I tell a difference with these 1 ton trucks, in ride ,and handling, well the answer is HELL no . So when I did replace shocks they were Monroe.
Although I have never hauled a camper, I do tow a fifth wheel. Shocks are just not on my list as something to worry about. I am still running the stock shocks on my 2014 Ram 3500. I do have a new set of the same shocks that came off my sons 2016, he lifts his trucks. When the time comes they will go on.
Back to why I asked Cummins12v98, well he's the expert, and the one that insists that Bilstein's are the only shock that works. Now with your truck, and camper the Bilstein's could very well be the best, I wouldn't know. What I do know that if ,and when my present shocks are worn out, it will be Monroe.
