Looking for softer rear ride

HD Bilsteins are on it all around. Rear is too stiff. Anyone tried the Monroe Sensa-Trac #39001 shocks in the rear ??? They are 1/2 the price of Comfort Bilsteins.

I run Bilsteins as well, and agree - stiff ride in the rear... very little float --- just thunk !

Just put regular blisteins on there, stock MB stuff. All my stock 300's have been pretty plush. I never really liked Monroe shocks, maybe I just had a bad experience. I kept breaking them on my 69' Pontiac ended up with some Edelbrock shocks actually, which were pretty nice, I was really surprised haha. I blew two out and broke on off at the bottom mounting lug, its not like I was going stunt man in my 40 year old car either......
