I will give it some time and see how they do. Monroe has a 90-day satisfaction guarantee so if I don't like the shocks I can get a refund. Any shock, or any other part can be bad right out of the box, or it can fail too soon or it can last a long time. You can go by reputation and online reviews but there really is no telling how good or bad any given part could be until you actually use it.
I did read a lot of great reviews on the Gas Matics before I made up my mind. There were some not so good and some bad reviews too, but a big majority of folks with trucks like mine posted good to excellent results with the Gas Matics. I also found some horror stories online about the other more expensive brands of shocks. I even read that the Gabriel Ultra is "too much shock" if you are not hauling heavy loads, towing and working the truck hard. That was the reason I did not buy a set of Gabriel Ultra's.
I don't tow or go off road and I don't do any heavy hauling either. I don't need the most expensive or the absolute best shocks that money can buy. These Gas Matics should be just fine. My truck rides great for now, much better than before and if there are problems later, I will take care of it. My wife likes the firmer ride too, much better than my old shocks, she says the truck is a lot easier on her back now. She has some vertebrae damage and was pretty sensitive to the rough ride I had with my old shocks.
