I need to replace the original shockies on my dual cab 99 hilux (95,000 kms). We tow a heavy offroad trailer and associated camping gear and need a tough, value-for-money replacement. Anyone got any ideas?

We used the Monroe gas shocks at 60k on the Extra Cab same year as yours and have been very happy with them. The rear has sagged beyond recovery, now 95k, so will probably be replacing with series 2000 all round (already had the torsion bars fitted at 50k)
The monroe shocks were cheap $130 for the full set are still going strong, 75% central desert roads. and have given a good ride, we are only considering the series 2000 so that we have the same gear allround. We are considering tho wether to fit air shocks on rear so that we can set the height like with polys and am about to post now to see what the consensus is.
