KYB® - Gas-a-Just™ Series Shocks Absorber

Truck drove like it needed alignment changed shocks with just a gas now driving straight

Giving 5 stars for these shocks, service, and overall rating of TRUCKiD. These monotube shocks are so much better than the cheaper twin tube I have been using. A+ is the grade. KYB has a great name in shocks, price was very good, delivery was fast and TRUCKiD really helped with the order. The shocks did come with the hardware packs torn open by the sharp shock top, and parts were missing or rattling around. Ends of boxes were open (torn open). KYB should do a better job of just taping the hardware bag to the shock, and tape the boxes closed. TRUCKiD helped me get the hardware, it did take some time to get the hardware from KYB. Could have gone with Rancho Universal hardware pack, but I am pleased with the prompt shipping by TRUCKiD to get this needed hardware to me. Going to give 10 Stars for helping out. Thank You. Those who have a full sized truck that needs ride improvement will be extra pleased with these shocks for sure. Buy new 10.9 or Grade 8 bolts, nuts and washers that fit the shock and the truck mount, take the shocks with you for sizing. Suggest putting on new Stabilizer Bar Kits while you have the shock off, Moog kits from TRUCKiD are great.

First 2002 Ford F-150 Crewcab 4X4. Would have been a 5 star if everything was there. Have had twin tube shocks in the past cheaper Gabriels. It took about 10 days to get the top shock hardware I needed, and special thanks to TRUCKiD for getting the packages of hardware. These shocks were not boxed very well with missing box tabs, and no tape to keep the box closed. The hardware bags were torn by the top pointed end of the shock and torn open, some stuff rattling around, most was just plain gone (all 4 boxes). Shocks were not damaged. This was a KYB issue for sure. The new KYB shocks (front and rear) are really amazing. Very glad I went with monotube shocks. Smooth, much better ride quality, quiet, and the best ride I have ever had. TRUCKiD sent these pretty fast free shipping, and they were packed very well by them. Some advice is to check the shock boxes for hardware before you send them out to customers if possible. I would bet many boxes are in the same shape as those I received. I also changed all the lower shock attachment bolts, washers and nuts with high quality Grade 8 or 10.9 bolts. Fit MUST be tight to shocks. Be sure to fit the bolt to the shock sleeve (take the new shocks and old bolts with you). Metric for front, standard for rear. .5 inch rear and 14mm front - yes the shocks are different front to rear. Torque to at least 100 ft/lbs and double nut. Found these at ACE Hardware, you might need to go to a bolt shop. Some advice is to use a quality bushing sticky grease (silicone only). Do not lube with petroleum. Be sure to change your stabilizer bar links while you have everything apart. My links fell apart when I removed them. Easy to do and TRUCKiD has quality Moog link kits. Lube them also with the sticky silicone grease (not dielectric or thin grease). I think it was Rancho lube. Thanks again TRUCKiD Customer Service for getting the hardware. You get 10 stars.

These shocks took the bounce out fo the rear end then towing my boat. Love the new handling.

I am very happy with these shocks. The ride is excellent and my 1995 Ranger seems to be able to carry more without any noticeable "sagging" affect as before. The transaction was easy and they arrived quickly. Thank you!

Perfect fit. Was going to return them but installed them anyway and glad I did.

Great product, installation was pretty straightforward. But if you plan on hauling a lot of weight in the bed of your truck or in the back of your vehicle, you may want to go with some heavy duty shocks.

I think these are the first shocks replaced on the recent purchase used vehicle as the tubes stamped Motorcraft. Easy install and definitely adjusted ride and handling. Many talked about getting the lower in as the cylinders expand after releasing the strap. Any moderate strength can compress it as it isn’t a strut it backup and tap the bolt in or just place a large screw driver against the bracket and guide it into place and insert bolt.

Easy install on what may have been the original Motorcraft stamped tubes. Gas mono’s definite improvement on ride and handling. I drive upper package Volvo’s BMW, and restored 70’s British restored sports car and restored E30’s.

Nice looking, easy to install on my 82 Toyota truck, great performance.
