If you tow your boat-BILSTEINS, I have put them on all 4 of my Duramaxes, I tried the edelbrock ias or whatever they call them, they rode better empty and towed terrible, Smitty

KYB Momotubes are pretty good as well.

Either Bilsteins or KYB monomax. Stay away from the Monroe Relex, not hd enough for towing.

I run Monroe Reflex on my 05 2500HD Crew. Under severe use they typically last about 1.5 to 2 yrs. They drive and tow well, but could use a bit more damp and less rebound. Ive towed at and over capacity several times, and it rides extremely smooth. If you feel like spending the $$$ buy the Bilsteins, if not the Reflex will work fine.

Typically im just towing a 5000-7500 lb load on a tandem, but it tows my heavy 33 ft 5th wheel pretty smooth.

Tires are 285 75/16 on stock wheels.

Billsteins! Great ride, better than stock even on a brand new lifted 08 I had.

KYB Monomax--best bang for the buck. I run them on an F-350 and they ride great.

Go with the Bilsteins, I put them on all my trucks (which are worked very hard), they are very reasonable from eshocks.com
