Shocks: KYB vs. Monroe? Or??
Looking for a little help with my somewhat saggy, just a little loose, stock suspension. Not looking to lift (no off roading) so much as I am to support.. money is not that big a deal, I just want quality.
I'm trying to decide between KYB GasAdjust vs. Monroe Sensa-Trac for my '67 F100? Or KYB MonoMax for the rear?
Opinions? Other options??
Thanks!

My choice would be KYB's.
But let me add that even KYB's base-level shocks and struts seem to be very popular with quasi-sport car owners (you know, not all-out sport cars, but average VW's and Mazda's that older guys just want to handle better for an economical price). I can attest to them having had them on my last MX-6 GT.
I was just talking about them to a customer tonight, and it hit me that I completely forgot that KYB made stuff for trucks, too - I really should have got KYB's instead of the Pro Comp 9000 shocks I bought from 4wheelparts.com . Live and learn.
Moroe's a just a good quality shock, but I've never known anyone to brag about them in as far as improving handling. They have made some improvements in design with their recent 'Reflex' line of shocks, but I haven't heard anyone report back on the things yet.

I can buy the KYB Gas-Adjust for the front and and rear at $33.95, or go for the Mono-Max ("Gas-Adjust on steroids") for the rear at $44.95, from kybshocks.com. Think I'm headed in that direction, but will check locally first. Thanks for the input...
