Default Monroe Sensa-tracs or reflex

Alright, probably will be going with new Monroes all around. Wondering if anyone had any experience with either of these shocks on a cherokee.

Thanks

I installed a set of sensatracs about 6 months ago and they ride and work just fine.

I have sensa-tracs on my 99 XJ. It rides nice and I haven't done much off roading yet with them.

I installed them a few months ago, and a few parts dealers told me the Reflex was discontinued for the Cherokee? I'm not sure if this is true or not, would of preferred the Reflex's..

I'm also in the market for some new shocks.

Are the Monroe's adjustable in case I wanted to add a mild (2-3'') lift later?

I'm replacing mine as well and couldn't decide between sensatracs or some comparable KYB's..

It's hard to find factual comparisons for shocks and opinons are just that, opinons. However I did find this and it looks like the KYB monotube is a softer riding shock than the Blistein, though both are said to be very good quality.
