Any difference btw these 2 shocks?

[Raybhxplorer]

I am thinking to replace my front shock absorbers since I need to change the suspension parts. The local parts store recommended the Monroe reflex, about $65/ea, which is twin-tube design. My friend recommended the monotube one 'cause i go off road around twice a month. I found the cheapest monotube shock online, KYB Gasajust, which has the similar price with free shipping. Does any one know about these two shocks? Is there any big difference between them? Thanks!

Personally I would go with Ranch RSX shocks. They are about the same price. That is what I have and like them quite well.

Summit Racing is who I recommend to buy them from.

Rancho RSX and Monroe Reflex are both made by Tenneco. They are essentially the same shock, except for cosmetics. If choosing between these two, make your choice based on price and/or appearance.
