Improvement over OEM
I have installed the Reflex shocks/struts on my 2008 Ford F150 XLT, 2007 Ford F150 Lariat 4x4, and the wife's 2005 Explorer XLT. In every application the ride and performance was better than the original (OEM) shocks. For the price, these are the best for your money. If you are an everyday driver you can't go wrong with the Monroe Reflex.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
