I'm looking to replace my Rancho RS5000 shocks with a more comfortable shock. I just priced them online. The sensa trac is about $83 to $87 and the Monroe-Matic averrages about $51. Both are nitrogen charged. I don't do any off roading but then I don't want something that will be too limp and plow into the corners. My truck is an '03 FX4 reg cab. Any one had experience with these shocks?

Had the Sensa-Trac on my 2001, ditched them and put Bilsteins on. Spend a little extra and get the regular bilsteins, you won't be disappointed..

 

Rancho has a similar shock, the RSX.

 

Bilstein all the way. I had them on my F150, folks' Explorer, now my Expd. I will putting PSS10 adjustables on my G next summer. They ride and handle great.

 

The matic is the bottom of the line shock by monroe. The sensa trac is significantly better. Bilsteins are much better than matics or sensa tracs.

 

Thanks guys for all the info. I guess there is no way of getting around it. Bilstiens are the way to go. I have Rancho now and they give a rough ride. I'm still a l'm still a litlee affraid of spending $400 plus for bilstiens and having the same stiff ride. I do very little off roading. I'm looking for something that mill give me improved ride around town.
