Monroe Shocks?
Does anyone know how Monroe HD shocks compare to Old Man Emu - assuming both
are not gas-charged? I believe my 93 YJ still has the factory shocks on it and are getting a little jittery. I do very little serious off-roading - mostly highway and dirt roads - and would like something that rides as smooth as possible. -- Dana Rohleder Port Kent, NY "There's an old saying in Tennessee-I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee-that says, fool me once, shame on-shame on you.

Doetsch Tech DT-3000 shocks have improved the ride of many, many YJ
Wranglers and is what I recommend. I'm no longer running them for lift-related reasons but they were the best riding shock of any of the five brands my Jeep has seen.

Re: Monroe Shocks?
A few years ago I had the OME.ARB rep tell us flat out that Monroe and
OME shocks are made in the same plant on the same assembly line only at different times. Difference was that the OME design belongs to OME and Monroe can't copy them in any manner. Wonder who owned the 'yellow' colored shock first :-) The OME is the cushiest riding system provided you have the matching springs or know how to match springs from other companies to the OME shocks. Our YJ already has 4" on it and we will probably go with DT's and put them in myself, ever try to buy shocks at sears after mentioning the word 'lift', to Sears that 4 letter word goes with the other 4 letter words.
