Pros:

clean look, good ride
|
|
Cons:
|
boots dry rotten after 4 years
|
|
I had these on my old Ranger, they worked well. They had good ride qualities (for being on a ranger with 5" of lift.) As I stated above, the boots began to become dry rotten after about 4 years.

Pros:
|
Good ride and reasonable price
|
|
Cons:
|
little stiff for daily driving
|
|
I run these on my DD '99 Explorer. They are a little stiff for a DD, but I like the ride. I have run these on my trail rigs and they are awsome for an offroad vehicle.

Pros:

Great ride, good looks, reasonable price
|
|
Cons:
|
No directions on, in, or near box; resorted to internet
|

Simple installation, never had to jack it up. Hardest parts of replacement were removing old stock shocks and fitting the boots onto the new ones. Gets rid of the see-saw effect! Firm ride, as to be expected with this type of shock, yet not unbearable for the DD.

i just replaced the stock shocks with these and the ride improvement is very noticable.. i like the tight feel of the suspension and the "boat" like wobble are all gone. of course results vary per user experience..

Pros:

Great ride, moderate cost ($50 each)
|
|
Cons:
|
Putting on those $@#%&*! boots
|
|
Just replaced the Monroe shocks with these at 180k miles. The difference is night and day--no more wallowing over bumps, no more freeway wandering at the slightest pavement imperfection. Cornering is much improved as well--and general ride quality has gone from poor to good. Wish I'd done this earlier.

Great Offroad Handling

Slightly firm onroad

First of all, I am extremely happy with these shocks. I replaced the OEM shocks at 78,000 and I've had these on for a week. There is a huge difference, although my old shocks were shot. No more rebound bouncing on the freeway or feeling the ex pull one way after a pot hole. On road, they are stiff but in control. I don't mind the stiffer ride, it's a truck. Offroad they really shine, I went out to my usual trail and I could take the bumps at a faster speed in control. I was amazed at the offroad performance.

Much better than my old shocks. No rebound bounce. Installed on my 92 XLT. Harsh sometimes but it's a truck not a Cadillac.
