Hi folks-

It is time to replace the shocks in my 2002 2500HD Duramax. I got rid of the originals at around 36,000 miles and replaced with a set of Bilsteins. I am now going to install the air bags and figured I should put a new set of shocks on all four corners at the same time. I liked the Bilsteins, but was wondering if anyone else has found another brand that worked well for the hauling set up. I have been told by the RV guys that Monroe makes a good shock, but am a little skeptical. I have a 4 horse Jamco GN. Any comments, suggestions appreciated!

I think Bilsteins are the Michelin of shocks. Koni are close. Mercedes and top RV coaches use Bilsteins.

Go with Bilstein's.  I put them on my truck and towing they are excellent.  I first put Timbren's on and the truck was bouncey pulling my trailer.  I then did the Bilstein's and the combo is excellent towing.  Couldn't be happier.
