why not to buy cheap shocks

Monroe HD shocks. Less than a year old with very few miles. Broke right at the weld. New SensaTracs ride a lot better. And who puts white shocks in a dirty old truck anyway?

Agreed. Cheap shocks just won't last. I run KYB Gas-a-justs or Bilsteins.

Pretty much everything is cheap these days, frustrating.

Re: why not to buy cheap shocks

Cheap shocks, expensive shocks. every last brand can have material failure. There is just too many factors that go into manufacturing products. Every company is guilty of it, using cheaper material to make their products so they can raise there profit.
