After 60K I decided it was time for new shocks on the 99XLT four door 2wd. After much thought and searching on this site, I decided on the Monroe Sensatracs. Plus, Sears had a buy four and get them installed free deal. $172 with tax and out the door.
Impressions after a few days - Mostly reminds me of how the EX drove brand new off the lot. Nothing dramatic, but better. The biggest improvement is in how much better the EX corners, with far less body-lean than before. If you want a firmer ride than brand-new stock, I would think the Monroe Reflex would be worth consideration.
Just FYI in case anyone was considering new shocks. Unfortunately, at least in the Dallas, TX area, the sale ended on the 17th, but the manager says they do it every few months.
