Thumbs up

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for chiming in on this one. I had no idea how expensive shocks were! I guess I'll start saving up for the monroes and/or some new tires.

Love the forum.

I'd do tyres first. Then, see if you want to invest in shocks. Stock shocks offer a reasonable compromise between comfortable ride and decent handling.

The good thing about the Sensa-Tracs is they have 2 zones...a "comfort" zone and a "control" zone. The comfort zone offers a very nice ride. But as the dampers compress, they firm up in the control zone.

This.

What you want is a good "touring" tire. If you want something along those lines that also performs very well, try the Toyo T1R.
