Shock absorbers Rancho or Monroe
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
Pros: sits level, no difference in stiffness
Monroe is the way to go honestly. They are some of the best on the market for OEM fit.
Pros: best on the market
Monroe gas charged, why spend hundreds when less is just as good as those expensive ones.
Pros: good value, just as good
As I do some offroading or mostly off pavement vs wheeling I’ve also liked my Rancho 5000s.
Pros: good for offroading
Vehicle:
Ford
Had a ‘86 Blazer with snowplow and heavy duty suspension came with twin shocks up front when I replaced them I went with Rancho RS 5000 ?
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Blazer
For stock, I've heard decent things about Monroe shocks.
Pros: decent things
Just put those same ones on my 96 f250 and they're soft AF.
Cons: too soft
Vehicle:
Ford
My experience with Monroe shocks over the last 42 years of working on cars. Monroe might have a lifetime warranty like the KYB has, accept even though the replacement is free, you still have the hassle of replacing the Monroe shocks every 2 to 3 years.
Cons: hassle of replacing every 2-3 years
I put Monroe's on mine a while ago and I hate them
Cons: poor performance
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.
Cons: give up quickly
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 45000 km
