Shocks control movement, not support weight. Gas shocks have some preload but not much. Bad shocks can cause the springs to weaken over a peroid of time.

Yeah...I really dont wanna go with the Monroes and have to replace them in a year or so...so I am just gonna go with the Bilsteins. Talked to the wife about it this weekend and as soon as we finish the kids school shopping and school clothes, she is setting aside the money for me to get them and my windows tinted.

D, if you go with shock warehouse I would recommend you call to check availability as they have had stock issues with Bilsteins for awhile now. Not necessary saying yours, but I know they have with the 5100's.
