On mine I pieced together all the joints with Moog parts and KYB shocks and replaced the rear leaf spring hangers (rust kills them) rather than go with a generic kit.
12k later and it all seems fine
KYB makes good shocks, but I’m wary of most “quick struts” because almost all of them use the cheapest upper mounts and bearings possible.
KYB are usually the best value for the quality
Usually change the whole set since the labor cost is already there to open the whole part. Shocks can get OE parts from KYB.
I like the MonoMax, good bang for the buck
I got the same thing off of eBay for $900 low fronts (30mm), super low rear (40-50mm) sits level and i didn't notice a difference in ride stiffness with the Monroe's
You're lucky if those shocks reach a year or two before they need replacing.
Used to have some on my old Ram. Fairly decent middle of the road option for shocks and they do well with normal commuting.
I put Monroe's on mine a while ago and I hate them
In my experience ever since Tenneco bought Monroe they have been trash. Back when I worked for Subaru the OE and KYB replacements regularly made it 100K, Monroe’s would give up in 40-50k.
