Ive had several 4 wheel drive vehicles. Used to buy the big name shocks. My opinion, you`re paying for the name. Monroes are fine

I put the Rancho 9000's on my 4 door a couple weeks ago and love them. I carry some heavy loads with my buggy and the monroe's I had on there started leaking after only a couple of years.

Heavy loads should have helper springs

I put billstein HD's on the front of my stock 4x4 4 door and monroe sensatracs on the rear. The sensatracs actually brought the rear up about an inch, and all around the four new shocks improved the ride quite a bit

No struts just conventional shocks.
