You don't want the ZR2 option.

You should be able to go to their website and key in your make model and year and get the options available.

I just purchased some Monro Reflex for my 99 4x4. It is a good mix of highway, city, and off road driving. I don't do much off-roading other than driving on the logging roads on my g/f's property and these shocks do great.

Ok...I had KYB Monomax shocks on for three years. I had a stiff as hell ride - which made me feel like I was real man driving a real machine ...but I'm sure they played a part in much of front end troubles I had, which is sensitive to begin with. Not to mention these allegedly super tough shocks gave out after 40K...which in my book sucks.

Now I have Monroe Reflex...and yes it feels a little mushy but I'm sure my passengers and cd player appreciates it. Get a good stock replacement, stay away from Monomax, Ranchos and the like.
