Re: shocks?
Monroe are a good shock. Quite a lot of people run KYBs.

Re: shocks?
Easier with the back jacked up on the axle, both wheels off. A bit of WD40 and hour beforehand and just undo the top and bottom bolts and remove old shocks. Compress new ones and slide into position, do up bolts.rockinsuzuki58 wrote:how to fit rear shock absorbers suzuki samurai
The fuel tank side is slightly more awkward if yours has a tank guard fitted.
Good Luck
I like the KYB gas Excel G's (good value and quality, made in Japan)Nikos.sami wrote:what would you prefer from those two?

Re: shocks?
I generally run KYBs. Usually well priced and seem to last quite well.

Re: shocks?
I've been running KYB for 10 years on my sj.....they still don't leak even though one has a bent shaft
