I have a 2005 SCAB 2wd (5.4) with the OEM towing package (7300 lbs?). I have 80k on it now so it's time to change shocks & I'd like a few recommendations from members who tow a single axle trailer (approx.3500 lbs). I also have a bed slide( 150 - 200 lbs) a Champion inverter/generator w/ 30 lb gas bottle (150 lbs) a wheelchair lift (100 lbs) and a Century contractor-style cap (guessing 200 lbs). I use an Anderson weight distribution hitch & am guessing the static tongue weight to be around 300 lbs. I add another 200 - 300 lbs in the bed when I snowbird.

The mechanic I use lets me buy parts vs him buying & marking them up so I'm a fan of Rockauto. I'm back home in OR after spending Nov- end of March at an RV park in AZ. I don't need off road type shocks since I don't boon dock other than at a Cabela's or Walmart on my way to & from.

Thanks!

 

Monroe is always a good bet for good OE style stuff, Bilstein if you want to get spendy!

 

Thanks. I was thinking along those same lines & yeah - Bilstein prices can bust your wallet.
