I have the Monroe’s on all fours and it was by far the best thing I did for the money. Love the ride and control now.

Well, I'm not Graythang, but the Monroes were $233.87 from Rock Auto...installation at pepboys was (IIRC) $20 for each of the rears and about $40 for each of the fronts...

I put the monroes on several months ago. Huge improvement over the retarded things they call shocks that come from the factory. I was hesitant to try the ranchos because years ago I had them on a toyota & they rode pretty rough...

I put on the rancho's, they don't seem to be too stiff. The truck rides sooooooooooo much better. Don't have to worry about that stupid bouncing!!! So glad I finally installed these.

A leveling kit wouldn't make a difference for the same ranchos right...?
