The TRX4 vs the standard setup has been mentioned before and still seems unclear. The differences listed are "painted" shock tubes and an extra inch of ground clearance. I highly doubt the suspension components are different ..... I am thinking that extra ground clearance comes from the 265 tire size.

As far as I know they are the same. I got the monroes cause they were available today and I was really tired of sh!tty shocks. I might put ranchos on the front but I don't know I heard they were really stiff so I might just stick with monroes
