X2 on the KYB Monomax....Pirate is much more technologically advanced than I am, so my reasons are a little different: They last a heck of a long time (I have 100K+ on a set and they need replaced), they're cheap and easy to find, and the ride is very nice. I have stock suspension and tire size and tow a camper (~8000 lbs) and a boat (~3500 pounds), and my rig is a daily driver mixed highway (potholes) and urban (potholes). I will say that around 90K miles, they started to get a little bouncy and they've been getting worse ever since. But, I'm still deciding on new leaf springs, so I'm not gonna change them until that decision has been made.

 

 

For sure! I'll dig back in my records and see if I can give you an exact mileage when they come off if that's of value.

 

Thanks for your sharing your advice and experience. Ordered a couple of KYB monomax and the doorman bumper from Rock Auto, they have reasonable pricing and shipping to Norway If that don't do it I have to consider upgrading the leaf springs.

 

 

Will do, I hope Santa bring some hard gifts before Christmas

 

Installed KYB monomax front/rear and the doorman bumper. Huge improvement, much firmer both in low and high speed. The car feels a bit stiffer, but all in all I am very happy. Thanks for the advice and assistance.
