    Have anybody used these Monroe shocks before for sagging leafs?

    Can’t find any cross reference to any of these numbers on my cam!

    so the lift on the cam is .510/.525 at 1.5 ratio after I measured with a caliper. But no where where I look can I find these numbers or letters to cross reference the cam. Plus a big UD letters I’d guess would be the manufacture. But nothing I can find on that. Thanks in advance.
