Ok
received new shocks today and I was able to compress them like they were for a Honda Civic or something. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance.

Shocks are made to retract (push in) easily. Then they rebound (push out) slowly. This is due to the restriction valves used in them to control movement or the bouncing of the vehicle. So what happens is you hit a bump and the suspension goes down. Now you have the vehicles springs pushing back and the shocks are controlling the amount of force they have to prevent them from pushing so hard it creates a bounce back. When shocks go bad the vehicle is bouncing uncontrollably since there is nothing to prevent the bounce back. Shocks themselves don't have anything to due with vehicle load at all. That is the springs department. They basically keep the springs in check. Of course "leaf" springs have an inherent self dampening ability unlike "coil" springs, but they still need shocks.
Sorry for the lecture.

Thanks Rusty,
Always like to learn, so I guess I'll install them asap.
Thanks for the reply

Are you running super singles? If you are then you should use this shock.

Thanks Elite,

Yes I'm running 395/85/r20 tires on a bobbed deuce. I've come across a few different shocks to use and want to run the "best-safest" shocks. Here are the different ones I've seen.

Monroe 34787?

NAPA 76787?

Monroe 74416?

Jeez now I'm confused,lol

Well after reading Monroes web site and specs for the 74416 shocks, seems like I should try these?

What’s the advantage/reasoning for running those shocks vs the stock shocks?

The shocks I posted are for the A3 series that comes with the 395's. They are designed for the larger tire and extra weight.
