Hmm...so I don't love Monroe shocks...

Ive had monroe and a bunch of the "best" autozone / napa shocks. They all turn to turds in 3 months with basic mild off road driving. Maybe last 6 months on the highway with declining control the whole way. That has been my experience.

I suppose if you drive like 50 mph on the straights and 20 in the curves you could get 5 years out of them. Personally I hate changing shocks and do not like poor suspension control. I had 5 year old rancho 5000s on my 4x4 dakota when I bought it They were too stiff causing hopping and lack of contact and when I pulled them, they had gaps in the control as they extended, like air gaps or something. Put RCD bilstiens on 4 corners and have been smoother on the highway and more logical proper control and contact offroad for a year so far.
