Ron -They look pretty good to me - Beats the yellow. I got the yellow Monroe's on the front that are almost brand new (b4 I bot truck) but they do a good job. Still got the stockers on the back.

Yeah, I still scratch my head when I look at those yella suckers up front. I am going to beat on them a few times just to make sure they do not fail, and then probably paint em.
I guess my stock shocks weren't that bad as I have not noticed as huge a diff as I thought I would. At least not like some have posted but they do ride better.

I just put some on my truck a few weeks ago to replace 3 year old Rancho 9000's. I did notice a slight ride improvement, but nothing that I'd call remarkable.
As for the color, the yellow really doesn't bother me. Maybe it's the yellow on a black truck (I like that color combo anyway), but I have no desire to change the color. Maybe if they were nickle plated or anodized looking, that would be cool, but I doubt I'll take them off just to change the color.
