I got a set of monroe sensatrack after LONG deliberation on the blistiens (spelling) i decided since the monroe are lifetime warrenty and my cost on them is less than the cheap ones list for at autozone or parts plus i would get them, i go to my friendly nappa store and get them ( yes amazingly in stock!)get home jack up the truck support with jackstands, relize that was a waste of time, unbolt the shock and drop'r down pull the ner one out of the box and POW! its the wrong friggin shock. its for the airbag system type.
so i reasseble the damn thing go back to napa and recheck the part number and sure enuf the are listed for the COIL springs...... the monroe load adjusting coil overs are on the way to omaha as we speak, 26.00 a pop cost !!!! lifetime warrenty
alls well that ends well as another members sig says!

Did your napa have the correct ones? I like sensa-tracs. I replaced all 4 crappy OEM's on my 2002 isuzu rodeo with sensatracs at like 18Kmi. Huge improvement in ride and handling. They are still on the soft side, but a couple knotches firmer than your typical OEM shock.

they had what looked correct but they were called out in the computer for the air ride systems didnt want to risk the wrong part especially since Sensa track are very application specific for the valving to act right. the coil over design in front seems pretty good for stock on the TB i get one rebound at 76K miles so ill save those till i get a spring compressor.
