Just wondering what rear shocks you guys have.
My pump up rears have shat themselves and I was thinking of using Pedders Sportsryders, but want to see what others are using.

I still have the stock heavy duty shocks in the rear ... working fine.
Was thinking of replacing them with the Pedders ones ... but they told me I really don't need to (just saved me a bit of money).

Depending on what you use your ute for , If used as a workhorse I would suggest Monroe Gas Magnum , If it's a streeter , KYB are a very good shock and reasonably priced.

At the moment, I've got Monroe GT pump up rears (Why... I don't know, don't cart anything much).
I'm going to ring Pedders today and get a quote on them. Where do you get KYB shocks from?

Pedders quoted me $298 fitted.
Does that seem fair?
