Default Rear shocks

Hey all,

I heard some sharp knocking coming from the rear end this week & only just got a chance to check it out. Well it turned out to be the bushings from the shock to the bed mounts. They're just the standard N2.0 shocks that come with the RCX level (2.5" front & 1" add on block in rear) & I'm thinking about replacing them completely. Any suggestions on which?

How does everyone feel about Monroe "Reflex" or Rancho "RS5000s" ? I do some offroading, but not a lot and not too intense. Mostly just messing around with buddies in a field or going into the woods for hunting. These two seem to be near my price range. The RCX shocks worked just fine for me before but I'm hesitant to buy them again if they bushings failed after only 2 years.

I went with the Monroe Reflex. They are very well built & handle amazingly.
