KYB or Monroe Shocks/Struts for '03???

[Charles]

I've got 72k miles on my 03 4R. Need to replace shocks/struts. It's a 2wd, and I consider it a 'beach runner' (use it to launch jet ski's on the beach).

Which is a better choice? KYB GR-2's or Monroe reflex? I saw Fabtech, but out of my $$$ range for the mileage that I put on the truck...

Does Bilsteins or Edelbrock make shocks for 4th gen 4runner yet?? If so, then i would go for these. Otherwise, i like Monroe shocks because they resemble OEM's ride characteristics the most (aka not too stiff).

Edit...i just checked, Edelbrock does not make shocks for 4th gen 4runner yet.

Charles, i am also moving this to "Maintenance" if you don't mind.

Thanks.

Yeah...Bilstein and edelbrock do not make any yet, and I can't really wait much longer. I just put on some brand new revo's, and it's starting to chop...NOT GOOD!!!

I'm gonna go with the MONROE's.

Good choice. I heard good things about the Reflex series...they provide the closest ride to OEM, while being more float-resistant.
