Recomend me some rear shocks for a 2001 SWB Colorade diesel

This LC I'm about to fall heir to, it had an advisory at recent MOT about 1 rear shock with slight oil mist. Well it's no longer slight, it's leaking badly so needs replaced.

The OEM shocks have lasted 14 years but we've always felt the back end is a bit lively. Without load in it tends to skip and squirm over bumps (speed humps are a bit jarring).

I've had good results with Monroe gas shocks on my Range Rover, has anyone used these or similar on a SWB LC?

Got them on my 2001 LWB 95. Been on there for 3 or 4 years now & settled in nicely. Also has uprated std length springs & all 4 were changed at the same time. Felt like a rock to begin with (1st 6 months), now fine (used to stand on drivers running board & truck would tilt - not now!). Purchased from Roughtrax - good service & good price.

Hope this helps.

That it does, thanks!

I have them in my Range Rover and they do an excellent job of taming the famous wallow. If they're half as good on the LC I'd still be happy.
