Monroe Sensatrac vs KYB gas ajust

Guys

Im looking at replacing shocks on my stock height 71 C10. Heard good things about the Monroe Sensatracs but always with the "soft ride" context.

Ive heard good things about the kyb gas ajusts too.

I realize my pickup truck isnt a vette, but i dont want it to bob up and down everytime i run over a bump in the road.

If youve owned either shock, let me know if its too hard/too soft. The senstracs are quite a bit cheaper, so if its a wash, ill go with them. But ill spend the extra cash if ill like the kybs better

thanks guys!

Re: Monroe Sensatrac vs KYB gas ajust

Ive had both, prefer the Monroe's because of the softer ride. The KYB's will hold a corner better but how often do we small timers want to wrap our trucks around a corner, I want the cruising comfort for my truck.

So guys

I gotta ask. How much worse/harsher are the gas-a-justs over the sensatracs? Ive been reading that the sensatracs dont last long.

That being said, this will be a daily driver.

thanks!
