Model: Frontier

Manufacture Date: 03/2004

Chassis Designation: 2 wheel drive

 

Question:

 

2 door, extra cab, 2 wheel drive, 2.4L, auto trans.

I want Monroe Sensa Traks for all 4; front & rear. How does your warranty

exchange work if required??  I presently have Rancho 5000 shocks & they’re

too hard.

 

Answer:

 

Monroe only makes a Sensatrac for the rear, the 37078 we list here -

http://www.shockwarehouse.com/index.cfm?mode=results&selected_model=4323&selected_year=2004

 

Like the original Nissan shocks, the Sensatrac, Monroe Reflex, KYB GR2 and Rancho are all a twin tube low pressure design.

All basically the same (minus the various gimmicks).

YOU_NEED: Best Handling Possible

 

BRAND: Everyday Shocks and Struts

 

COMMENTS: Hello, What kind of handling can I expect from the KYB GR2-struts & shocks,compared to stock…I’m looking for something to handle these rough New England roads etc… Thanks for your time.

ANSWER:

KYB GR2 units are a twin tube low pressure design, similar and valved like the OE units on the car.

(slightly better of course, and with a lifetime warranty).

Toyota Tundra Double Cab 2WD Limited with 58k miles. The stock rear shocks are leaking and I want to raise the front a bit to have a more leveled look and ride. I am looking to put the Bilstein BE56929’s on the front for the leveling. Where the question comes in is what to put on the rear? Do I go with the Bilstein HD’s or just save even more money and get a set of the closeout KYB’s? I have only owned stock shocks for the most part in my life so I do not know what is better in ride and longevity when it comes to shocks. I put a set of Rancho 9000’s on a 2001 F-350 dually and didn’t notice any difference over stock and a set of

Monroe’s on a 2001 Z71 and didn’t notice any difference. Your comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,Jarred – RRT

 

Answer: 

None of the companies we have offer any products to raise the rear of the truck.(change the height). So you can basically use any shock you want on the rear, but we recommend a monotube for performance and durability. You are correct on the front, the Bilstein BE56929 (or BTS7514) will allow you to raise the front to be level with the rear. Online catalog – http://www.shockwarehouse.com/index.cfm?mode=make&type=T KYB Gasajust/Monomax, and Bilstein are a monotube (performance ) design.More about that is mentioned on our website here-  http://www.shockwarehouse.com/site/glossary.cfm
