Review on ๐Ÿ”ง KYB 344081 Excel-G Gas Shock Absorber by Ulysses Fincher

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Amazing product, the best in shocks, struts and suspension

Over 100,000 original shock absorbers. time to change, right? There have been some handling changes and I'm looking forward to getting the rear end of the Dakota. A few Tipps. The day before removing, apply a little WD40 to the upper shaft. If you don't have 3 hands and/or help, buy a special tool that Lisle makes (OReilly Auto or maybe here) to help remove and install the top nut which is $15. Since these are gas shock absorbers, it is recommended that the vehicle be raised slightly to allow room to insert blocks between the coil springs. Unless you have very, very good upper body strength to keep the shock compressed while tightening the bottom bolts.

Pros
  • Uses a seamless slave cylinder in combination with a teflon coated piston band for reliable sealing and longer life
Cons
  • Not all will fit
