Bought 4 of their HD shocks about 2 1/2 yr ago for my '00 dodge 1/2 ton 2wd and after 21,000 miles the 2 front shocks started leaking. Odd thing is they were fine until I jacked the truck up to rotate the tires. The driver side shock puked all its oil on the ground and it looked like 7500 mile motor oil. Dark and thick. The other side leaked a couple teaspoons. I don't have the receipt any more so I'm going put 2 munroe reflex shocks on tomorrow. At least if these fail I'll be able to locally exchange them. Stinks because these shocks were expensive.

+1 on the Monroes. I've been using the Gas Magnums on my trucks since the late 80's and have been very pleased.
