Jump like you have no punches

This is the worst series of punches. They claim they are as good as the original factory. My truck hits a bump and bounces all over the place. It's terrible. Don't waste your time and money on this.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Many things

Needs compression before installation

Although I had to compress the shocks with zip ties, the installation was fairly easy. Those front shocks definitely improved the ride and stiffened the front suspension a bit. I'm looking forward to putting two on the back of my '98 Nissan pickup.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Protection

Failed in 18 Months

I purchased them direct from Revain.com and installed them professionally on my 2002 Frontier 18 months ago and the left front failed about 6 weeks ago. I don't ride off-road (except for my gravel driveway - they don't), there are no potholes here - in short, they've never been abused. They have not even been used properly (7,500 miles). Too bad this happened because they improved the behavior of the truck while they lasted. I suspect it was a quality control issue but I'm playing it safe and…

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Crumpled

KYB KG5444 Gas Shocks (Front)

We installed these KYB KG5444 shock absorbers on my son's 2001 Nissan Frontier Truck. He says they are GREAT. They are of great importance compared to the filmed Gabriels. One thing should be noted. These shocks do not compress. To get them in place (very tight) I had to manually compress them by placing the top of the bar in the driveway and using my full 220 lb weight to push it down and tighten it with some very large (175 pounds) cable ties. , put it with the bottom bolt and the top stem…

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Some small things

almost no installation instructions

My new shock absorbers arrived today. I haven't installed them yet but I hope they will be ok. This is a KYB product. But I was surprised by the installation guide. The 4-page manual contains 2 pages of warnings (in 34 languages) and 2 pages of instructions NONE OF WHICH APPLICABLE TO THE BATTERIES I PURCHASED! I'm a decent "shade tree mechanic", so I'll be sure to install them, but a simple question I had (whether to remove the zip ties before or after installation) went unanswered - it'll…

Pros
  • Solid surface
Cons
  • Damaged
