$75 for all 4, and they are new? Jump on it. I need new shocks at all 4 corners. I'm leaning towards the Doetsch Tech 8000 series....my lower back can't take KYB's anymore.....

There are a few ppl here that run them, and my nieghbor runs them on 1 of his '92 4runners and I like the ride both on and off road, so I'll be purchasing them when the funds become avail.

Sorry, I didn't clarify myself in my last post. It was in reference to you saying that you were going to look into the DT as well. It was to that in which I was talking 'bout some ppl on here running 'em.

My neighbor runs the DT 8000 series, and I prefer the DT's. I have 2 bad disks in my lower back, and have personally run KYB's, (too stiff for me), Rancho 5000's, (too soft for me), and have ridden in his 4runner runnin the DT's. The DT's are what's going on my '91.

But it all comes down to what kind of ride your looking for. Want something on the stiff side, go with the KYB's. Want something a bit softer, go with the Rancho's. I found the DT's are in the middle.

ok i see what u mean, that helps alot really, i think ill try the kybs out first see how they feel if i dont like them im sure i can sell to some1 locally, they got alot of representation around here , i just was not satified with my monroes at all, im not dissing on them but they just didnt work for my application.
