Shock absorbers Dobinsons or Monroe

I’ve rocked Monroe’s before and never had an issue.

Get some Monroe Reflex shocks . Not as good as Bilstiens but very good shocks and a good price also

I did it on my 2009 Corolla standing at 130k km. The chap who installed it said that I’d need to replace those within a year. It has been four now and it is still working as it should.

IMS has been great for me, I don’t think I’d find myself using adjustment to its full potential so I chose to use the savings for aftermarket UCAs and LT rear

I'm on a 2" IMS setup and relatively stock weight. They are "firmer but less crashy" than stock, if that makes sense. If you're loaded they're extremely nice. They're also a dream on dirt and gravel, and the low speed dampening is still strong enough that they don't compress too much when hitting harder rocky obstacles.

I have the standard twin tube nitrogen shocks with their UCA's and I love them. A little harsh when the truck is empty, but it rides like a Cadillac with 4 people and a couple hundred pounds of suitcases

Monroe’s tend to be very good OE equivalents. Just put a set on a p2 Volvo v70r and they ride pretty damn good in my opinion.

Rock Auto had Monroe shocks & struts for $12 & $8/ea for it, so I bought new. Turns out that's what came out of the car and his weren't too bad but let's face it, they're garbage.

Been avoiding Monroe at the shop, they come back leaking too often.

I just put Monroes on all around and my truck rides like a Sherman tank.
