Shock absorbers Rough Country or Monroe

Monroe is a long-time name brand and what I buy. They have worked well for me.

So far has worked out great, some models they don't fit because of clearance issues.

i bought some Cheap monroe oem style shocks and i have a nice soft ride for an every day Car.

If you decide to go with the Routan SE you could change out the rear shocks for Monroe Sensa Trac. They are load adjusting and will support the extra weight of towing. They were very easy to install on our SUV, provide better handling and the vehicle stays level with over 500 pounds loaded in the back.

Monroe is not a bad thing. Saleen used the Formula GP's until they started producing thier own. I have them on my Camaro, among other things, and it pulls .88 G's on the skidpad.

My '04 VW Golf R32 came with Monroe shocks on the rear as OEM. They were 'floaty' feeling after less than 10k miles. I put a total of 25k on them before I just couldn't stand it anymore.

When I had my 337 GTI, the Monroe shocks it came with DRASTICALLY changed in performance by the 20k mile mark.. The suspension was MUCH bouncier and less tight as when I first got the car. The was car driven very spirited.
