Talk about shocks!
I thought Halloween was over last night.
Shocking price for what started as a bmx bike shock. I remember riding downhill on a bike with a Fox shock in 1975. State of the art bike (wasn't mine).
I'm shocked that these bike shocks now cost so much, but am impressed at how the company transformed itself into brand that can command such a high premium for their products.

I have no complaints with my Rancho 9000 adjustable shocks, make sure and use good grease on the **** when you get them and they are good to go, mine are over 7 years old and still work great. I haul a 5000lb truck camper on the back so they get plenty of use. I set my rear ones at 9 and adjust them down to 5 when the camper is off, I leave the front ones set at 5.

I have had good experience with KYB and Gabriel monotubes.
Spend far less money than with Rancho or Bilstein.
Overall If person likes firmer ride,monotubes are the way to go.
Twintubes(OEM type) for smoother ride.

I have found mono tubes tend to ride close to the same at all times while twin tubes can be smoother when cool, but tend to ride awful when heated up.

KYB Monomax from Rock Auto. Price-competitive and stiffer/stouter than KYB Gas-adjusts, which I put on my other vehicles.

Bilstein here 2001 Ex PSD 4x4 stock height
Super long lasting. Could not make up my mind so I used 5100 on front axle and 4600 on rear. Both holding up well. S Fl truck so no salt.
Fine shock for a pavement queen. For offroad IDK.
