Shock absorbers Rough Country or OEM Toyota

My mother drove her 2010 Corolla for 11 years and 320,000 km with no breakdowns and only (frankly spotty and frequently late) basic maintenance before passing it off to my brother, who still drives it every day it with 350k kms (edit: 220k miles). The shocks probably need replacement at some point in the nearer term but those are wear items and the car spent most of its life on terrible Saskatchewan roads, so I can’t really blame it for that.

2008 LC Prado - 185k mileage. Regular PMS only. front lower arms, and tire rods were change for the first time last year since it was new, rides like brand new again. Shocks were already replaced with OME.

I just back from mechanic shop with another set of stock absorber (facelift gt86) and ride is really night and day!! Firm but not harsh, can feel the road but not as uncomfortable as before.

My 2014 Rav 4 Limited has 222,000 miles on it. Needs new shocks to the tune of $2000.00 but that’s to be expected. Absolutely no regrets.

2011 SR5 4wd just under 110k. Zero issues just regular maintenance. I am due for some new shocks though.

My 2008 RWD Petrol SR5 has 365XXX on it. All it's had replaced is the shockers.

I did a rough country lift on my Silverado. The shocks aren’t bad but they definitely aren’t great. It handles bumps better than it did when it was stock but I’ll definitely be upgrading to bilsteins when these shocks go bad.

With that said the lift part of the kit . Pucks or springs are not bad , it’s usually the shocks they sell that are junk .

15K later and all my RC shocks really do is keep my springs from falling out when flexing. Otherwise, they do nothing.

N3s are garbage, they rode so bad I thought I was going to wreck the truck, made the truck walk all over the road at any little bump. I ended up buying a set of bilstein 5100s and the truck rides great now. 2016 4x4 crew short
