Hi guys. I just installed new rear shocks, KYB gas-a-just (got a deal on ebay a while back). I'm pretty happy with how they ride - nice and firm. Boy, my old shocks were really shot. Anyway, now I need to replace the fronts. Are the KYB still the best bet? The auto parts stores carry monroe shocks for like 20 bucks each, are these crap? Also does anyone have a good/preferred source for the KYB KG5603A front shocks for my 89 LWB v6?

Another Q... can someone reccomend a good 10 gallon air tank at a good price that doesn't leak? I bought a 5 gal from harbor freight but not only did it not hold enough to inflate my four 30 inch tires after off roading, it leaked the air out within a few hours, despite my best efforts with teflon tape on the threads. Thanks for any help, I'm a newbie with this off road stuff.
