Question:

Which shocks should I buy ? I have a 2000 Nissan Frontier 2-Door extra cab with the vg33 engine, manufactured 10/00.  I tow a utility trailer 1-3 times a month for deliver/pickup-2,000-3,500 lbs

Answer:

Here are the shocks we carry for the Nissan Frontier:

If you want a shock similar to the original twin tube design, Monroe
Sensatrac or KYB GR2 shocks will be fine.

If you want a performance shock (better handling/ control, especially at highway
speeds) you want to use a monotube design. Such as our Bilstein Heavy Dutys or KYB Gasajust.

Question:

I’m looking for new shocks for my 4 door 98 Nissan Pathfinder XE 6 cylinder, can you help me find out which shocks fit my truck?

Answer:

In 1998, you need to know the exact production date, month and year.

If the truck was built in 1996 to November 1998, here are those parts -

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 -

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).

I have a ‘92 Nissan 2WD pickup and somebody referred your website to me. I am interested in some KYB shocks and am having a hard time deciding on the Gasajust or the GR2 units. The roads/freeways out here in california have been getting bad and don’t look like they’ll get rebuilt anytime soon. Which ones would you recommend?

ANSWER:

The KYB GR2 are a twin tube low pressure design, similar to the original OE shocks. The Gasajust are a performance shock, a monotube design. If performance / handling is not your goal with the truck, just daily evryday driving, you should use the GR2s. Online catalog  – http://www.shockwarehouse.com/index.cfm?mode=make&type=T
