I’m running some Monroe mono tubes that I got off rock auto ???? somewhere there is a listing of shock absorber lengths by number, after I got my mounts situated I looked up shocks using that.
Monroe Severe Service shocks front and rear. I've had them on my 1999 Crown Victoria Base Model since August 2020.
So I kinda disagree with him about Amazon, example my Monroe shocks are from Amazon and they are still doing great years later.
Put a set of 23 TRD OR take offs on my fathers 2011 prerunner and the best way to describe this set up is a mini budget level, the ride quality is way better than the worn oem pre runner shocks and the front end did gain close to an inch.
I put a set of those on my ‘09 in like 2018 or 2019...Didn’t really change the ride height but ride quality was noticeably better, but that’s probably mostly because of how sacked out my old shocks were.
for shocks find Bilstien good for OE or 'Yellow' for \u00a3\u00a3\u00a3s and a cheaper option Monroe.
I've always considered Monroe the bottom of the barrel for shocks.
Got 3 sets of Monroe shocks in the last month that were all leaking out of the box. Had one fresh out of the box that was able to be compressed by hand with barely any force. Had struts from them as well that were leaking fresh out the box.
I replaced my with Monroe’s and it feels liked they’re already going out again.
Just put those same ones on my 96 f250 and they're soft AF.
