Don't utes still run rear shocks? Rears are ridiculously easy to change, its the fronts that need spring clamps etc to change.And if you go Monroe make sure you go GT sport, not GT gas. The sport is a much better product Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82406-replace-standard-shocks-with/page/2/#findComment-1309775 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monroe's are around $200 for the front pair where as Biltein's are around $500-$600 for a pair.

Came to $1100 with a bit of other work done to the front end eg. bushes. So am happy with that.Haven't had a chance to try it out though but will be wicked I'd imagine :D Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82406-replace-standard-shocks-with/page/2/#findComment-1323250 Share on other sites More sharing options...
