Default Need Help with Struts

I would like to used KYB struts in the front and rear. Is it wise to mix and match.
Example: Excel-G in the front and kyb monomax in the rear. would that work

You don't have struts on your Jeep. They use shocks. As for mixing brands of shocks you might have a bit of a strange ride since most shock brands are made different with different resistances. But if you can find some that are close resistances you may not feel the effects.

I love KYB shocks
I want a better ride but a stronger ride. Not Lifted Just replacing bushing and struts I do go off road alots but the wife will be driving as well so I guess Im asking KYB Excel-G OE Replacement Shock or KYB MonoMax Heavy Duty Monotube Shock or KYB Gas-a-Just Monotube Shock

I'm new to this but whats good and why?

Thank for the corrections bro

monotube > twin tube

If you are convinced on sticking with KYB, i'd say go for the heavy duty monotubes

i'd recommend switching to Bilstein shocks if you have extra coin - it's a few bucks more but the performance will be worth it
