Default Opinions on KYB monotube shocks?

Anyone use them, I can get a set for the price of most twin tube shocks.

And yes I know all the major brands like Bilstein and Fox and so on are better just trying to get by on my budget build 92 XJ.

I've been running KYB's on all my vehicles since 1978 on everything from our daily commuters to my off road vehicles. Never had one go bad.

Your vehicle lifted? Which model KYB's you referring to?

I ran 6 of those Gas-a-Just shocks (duals in the front) on a lifted '78 Power Wagon. It was a DD,woods truck,and mud bogger. Shocks were still good when I got rid of the truck in the mid 90's.

I've had a set on my 89 XJ for the last 4-5 years. Daily driven with occasional light wheeling and a few instances of severe hammering down... no issues yet.
