In reply to Bobzilla:

You'll be happy with them, they were a noticible improvement on my 3/4 burb. Also for the price you cant beat them why do the job every other year when you can do it once and be done (for a while anyways)

Yeah, when Dad was over on Sunday complaining about his after 2 years that pretty much sealed the deal for me. He had put on the top-line Gabriels IIRC. MAybe Monroes.

Anyone tried KYP Monomax? I put them on my truck and I like them, but mine is a C1500, so maybe not s o heavy duty.

The billies are going on a 1500. Dad's OE Billie's were also a 1500.

Until they've been rusted onto a midwestern truck after several years.

Yeah, but if you just wait another couple of years...they'll eventually remove themselves.

MonoMax here on Dakota. I like them a lot. It has survived towing, garbage and scrap runs, autoX and some touring laps at Road Atl

OK, so I have had these stupid things in the garage since the 18th. Finally put them on yesterday morning. Wow. Umm.... huge difference. The kind of difference that I have no idea why GM would have ever put those other piles of garbage on to start with.

Now, before we get to the "oh, but your old ones were worn out" and the "it's probably just the placebo effect"... the WIFE noticed a difference from the passenger seat. The old shocks still worked. They weren't leaking. They still had resistance both directions but the AMOUNT of resistance was nothing even close.

The "quivering" over bumps is mostly gone. It still does a little over the larger ripples, and that is likely do to the difference in body length between mine and Dad's (crew cab with 5'8" bed compared to ext cab with 6'6" bed). The AMOUNT of suspension travel over larger bumps has decreased to half.

Overall.... very happy. Should have done this 8 years ago.
