Thanks again Thai. Looks like the Monroes are about $50 less than the Bilsteins. Apparently Edelbrock does not yet offer shocks for the 4Runner. Do you have Monroes on your MB?

Monroe, KYB or Bilstein Thanks for the info Thai, I was starting to think that no one had changed the shocks on their truck. The bilsteins are direct replacement shocks. I don't know much about the monroe's but I found a site that sells them. Apparently the sensatracs are only offered for...
