I like them, the ride is a little stuff (which is what I was looking for)
and they smooth out the bumps nicely. Monroe warned me that they are *not*
designed for lowered trucks and will void your lifetime warranty if you use
them on one, but I'd like to see them prove it.
They made a huge difference when going over bumps, the truck just absorbs
them now and doesn't bounce at all. The only complaint that I could have is
about how stiff the springs/shocks are when it comes to roads that are a
little wavy. It causes a pretty decent "hobby horse" effect inside the
vehicle. Again, I can't attribute that completely to the shocks, but it did
pick up some after the install.
You might also want to contact Quickor and tell them about your problem with
the rubbing, they might send you a different bar.
