i think a good thread like this puts valid points forward, i mean if everybody just said yes buth thought 'actually' and said nothing we might all follow the wrong info, im sure non of us actually means offence, but just a diffrence of opinion??

I agree. I have nothing against 93XJLI. I know he knows his stuff, it's just that our facts and opinons differ.

take a monroe shock, and compare it to an OME shock... youll find theyre very similar. the OME regular ones are similar to gasmatics, and the nitros to some other monroe. all the OME suspension stuff is made in india now- gabriel and monroe shocks are both made in india. apparently the same is true with bilstein 5100s and RE monos, but i've never seen a RE monotube off a truck.

not saying that its a bad thing, as both shock manufacturers make good stuff.
