Default Overall Consensus on Shocks

So what is everyone's final say on THEIR personal preference of struts? I only want to hear about personal experiences, no 3rd party reviews.

I guess no one on this site buys shocks or struts?

Are you looking to get new Shocks and Struts?

I had Bilstein 5100's on my truck before I did my suspension and now I have King's all the way around.

I have no complaints on both setups.

I went with Rancho 9000 adjustable and they seem to be pretty good. I run them on most firm setting and kinda wish they were still a bit firmer.

I purchased a set of Monroe front shocks/spring combo's as well as their rear shocks with springs (load); very happy with them after about 4 months now.

I have monroe struts. No complaints nothing special. I have rancho 5000s in the back, better than stock, a bit stiffer. again no complaints. Definitely not an expensive setup like Fox or King. But if you have the coin and want to do it then go for it.

Monroes all around for last 75k. No complaints. Harsher ride than stock.

I have the Rancho Quicklift struts with the Rancho 9000XL shocks in the rear. All 4 are adjustable, and I've been very happy with them
