Shock absorbers Rancho or Monroe
Rancho shocks are for off-road style ride. Will absorb heavy impacts and be stiff on the pavement.
Pros: absorb heavy impacts
Cons: stiff on the pavement
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.
Pros: easy to install, better handling
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Part number: 58648
Rear shocks are Rancho 9000 nine-way adjustables, set at "3-clicks in" by Mike's son Matt, who's in charge of suspension tuning.
Pros: nine-way adjustables
Vehicle:
Ford Maverick
Mileage: 47000 km
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.
Pros: Pulls .88 G's
Cons: not a bad thing
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Camaro
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.
Pros: tighter suspension initially
Cons: bouncier, less tight
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 32186 km
