Review on 🔧 KG5462 Gas-a-Just Gas Shock by KYB by Kevin Robinson

These are perfect for a 2004 Tacoma Xtracab 4WD 6cyl 3.4. I blew one of the series shocks and the other one didn't look so good. Using Bolt Buster's thermal induction tool to remove the bolts made the installation VERY easy. I first attached the shock absorber to the UPPER piece, cut off the strap and just pinned the bottom piece to secure. You don't need superhuman strength to compress shock absorbers enough to fit, there's not much resistance a normal human can't provide. These shocks are a definite improvement over the old shocks, but I would say the ride is a little "heavy". They offer excellent cornering and load control, but the whole thing is a bit harsh in my opinion. We also noticed that the rear of the truck sits a little higher with these shocks, but this may be due to the 150,000 miles the OEM shocks have worn out.
