    They are all pretty much the same. Made in China, Mexico, etc......like most auto parts. Just buy any mid priced shocks. Replace them every 200-300k miles or whenever you replace tires. Just one Old Mans opinion.

    I buy the Monroe brand from Partsgeek. Replace every 100k. Works good and at $45 a pop, who cares about the quality when I replace every 7-8 months

    They're all the same IMO. Just there to control the rebound of the springs/air bags.

    Why would you pay $279.00 each for shocks?

    There must be some off road Tanker Rally/Race that we haven't been clued in on!? Lol. (Isn't Fox the company that makes all of the high dollar off road racing shocks?)

    Yes that is the same company. I would pay that much if they are rebuildable and last twice as long as cheap shocks before needing a rebuild.
