I like choices when replacing parts but I have now seen at least 20 different shocks, ranging in price for $14.51 to around $60 for regular replacement shocks. Anyone have a recomendation? I was thinking the Monroe Sensa-track for about $40 each, but just staying with the "Monroe" brand specific to my truck I can get: Monroe Matic Plus Monroe Gas Matic Monroe Gas Magnum Monroe Reflex Monroe Sensa Track maybe I'm simply overthinking this but I dont need that many choices. My head hurts now, I better lay down! Last edited by 70Sbird; 06/03/14 05:49 PM.
