1998 montero shocks selection Gas-a-shock vs Monomax

[Jarhead74]

Wanted to provide some feedback. I have a 97 LS. PO installed KYB Gas A Just. Don't like them. Very rough riding. I do all highway miles. They have maybe 15k on them. I just ordered Bilsteins HD's. I have the 5100's on my Tundra and while firm, they control very well and no jarring over rough roads. You can get all 4 from 4 Wheel Parts for 259 with free shipping. If you want, you can have my KYB's just cover shipping. I live in SC.

My Bilsteins will be in 5 days.

I'll chime in on my set up, 35s, monomax in the front, 10" travel 5100 in the rear, no sway bars, stock height currently as I am waiting on my springs to arrive.
The rear feels quite a bit softer than the front, but I feel like part of that is the stock springs. I haven't taken it out on anything more than some of the rougher and tougher forest roads in my area yet but so far it feels pretty satisfactory.

The only thing you left out was what you drive. No signature, no clue from the picture in your avatar. Sigh...

I was totally unaware! ive thrown out so many warranty worthy KYB's over the years then, dang.

so I can install 5100 Bilstein over stock 98 Montero and still get 2.5" lift?
