Monroe makes a shock that is supposed to do the same thing, give a smooth
ride on the highway but stiffen up on bumpy surfaces (e.g. off-road). I
don't have any first hand experience with them. I was going to get a set
for my Ramcharger before I sold it to get my Dak. At that time (less than a
year ago) they were less than $50 each. You might check them out at your
local Monroe dealer to see if it might fit your need.
