Like many I fought the shock thing for 10 plus years. Initially I went with tube shocks. To this day I don't know if they were gas or hydraulic. I could never run a match with the part numbers. They came with the "kit". They were Monroe's. One eventually failed and I decided to step up and bought Stipe Machine co. "original" style. I LOVE THEM!. You will hear lots of chatter about tube shocks which I found boring. What I want to see is part numbers for hydraulic tube shocks along with the application. That way you are assured as to what the hell to buy instead of continued guess work and experimenting.
