How do the Monroe Self adjusting shocks compare to the Bilstein?

 

Why? what makes them work twice the cost of skyjacker or rough countrys?

 

And this from somebody whose idea of off-roading is pulling into the driveway!!!

I don't have any experience with the Rough Country's, but I've been more than one truck with Skyjacker shocks, not impressed. It was told to me by a guy in the auto parts business a few years ago that the Skyjackers are contracted by low bid, usually made in China or Malaysia, and I can believe it. As of about 4 or 5 years ago, I thought they were a terrible shock, not a big fan of the Pro Comps either...

 

and how often do you drive your truck?? i've driven 70% of the total miles on your truck in just this past year. face it hammer, your truck may not be a pavement queen, but she doesn't exactly get used like some of ours do. and if you drove over the potholes we have here your stomach would fall completely out through your belly button. that's right, i'm standin up to your old fat ***, you big bully

nitto seems to like the rough countrys, might end up giving those a shot.

hammer, i thought your lift was rough country, is that right?

 

yeah, yeah, yeah, easy to stand up to someone from what 1200 miles away? And besides, Nitto likes hitting the trails hard and getting bounced around the cab, so did I 10-15 years ago.

Now I may not use my truck anymore as a daily driver, but when it goes out to "play", it usually plays pretty rough. Next time I take it up to the farm, I'll have to take a set of pix, especially if I start clearing land down in the overflow behind the dam again. The truck and winch get a good workout draggin' scrub oaks and bottom pines out of that big, boggy depression...

No, I've got a Rancho Suspension Lift...
