    Not sure if their is any real appreciable difference between them for most applications. I would just go with the best price. I just replaced my shocks with Monroe gas shocks. Got them for $73 apiece with a $10 install charge per shock at my tire dealer. Replaced all the tires so just had them do the shocks at the same time.

    I got all 4 Monroe shock for my drives for a little over $200 @ Truck Pro, the steers were a little higher I think.

    They also carry a lifetime warranty...I realized that about my worn out Monroes I took off the truck after I bought new ones but now I have a spare new set.

    I would say better price, and then / or better warranty.

    Springfield, IL Kenworth dealer is around $50 +/- $3 if they are on sale or not. Bought Monroe's for a car trailer & fronts on the truck. Am sure there are better out there, but not in this price range.
