lol............i had them years ago on a sierra and they were superb. Did exactly as described on the box and lasted ages. But that wasnt a big 4x4

I do tow quite a bit and the jeeps rear shocks are a bit tired. I wouldnt bother only theyre actually cheaper than normal ones

Hi Dave how's things?

If I remember right monroe say you should change your shocks every 20k miles.
Every car including 4x4's that have done more than 20k when I get it, get a new set as a matter of course and you notice the difference straight away.

I've found when they are shot the 1st 1" or 2" of shock movement has no damping at all (no resistance) and you can't tell till you take them off the car.
