Default What to expect going with Monroe rear shocks?

If I replace the rear shocks with Monroe shocks will the ride be a little stiffer? Looking to support rear passengers a little better without the harsh ride if heavy-duty leafs

I've always been told that the leaves are what determine ride quality. I have the 'medium duty' leaves from Cart Parts Plus (site sponsor) and they ride great while still supporting a lot of weight.

Shocks do not support load, springs support load... Shocks provide damping only...

I installed Monroe 31176 gas shock. They made a world of difference in the ride. They stop the cart from bouncing when you hit a bump by keeping the wheels on the road. A lot of people will tell you that shocks won't make any difference with heavy duty shocks but that's one of the stories that get repeated so may times that people believe its the truth. Amazon and Walmart both got these for $15 ea.

Gas shock are air shocks or are you looking for shocks with Schrader valves that you can pressurize yourself?

So, these do make a difference even if you do have heavy duty rear springs?

Like I said they are gas shocks which would be the equivalent of a shock with a spring. And for $15 a shock you can't go wrong and if you are lucky you may find blems on Amazon and get them for half price. Disclaimer.. I only use my cart on city streets. When I drive to the store there is little or no difference when driving a car. I don't know how they would do off road. I only wish I could find gas shocks for the front.
