98 Ram 1500 4x4 Quad Shock Problems

From : grizzz3

Q: my truck has about 106000 miles. i replaced the front shocks with edelbrock ias and after about 1000 miles they went out i.e. knocking sounding like something was loose. i then put monroe gas matics and solved the problems. now the drivers side is doing the same thing. im out of remedies. the monroe have a warranty but any shock should last more than 1000 miles. any help would be appreciated. .

i checked the model numbers and they were correct and the gas magnums are apparently doing the same thing. .
