These shocks have made an amazing difference to my truck

These shocks have made an amazing difference to my truck. It drives like it should and even my buddies noticed the difference. These replacement shock absorbers are highly recommended.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Hard to tell

Will not fit 2004 Silverado 4x4

Shock absorber will not fit 2004 Silverado. I took the real box and shock to Carquest Parts where they are from and they told me they are 4th and 80th. or early 90's Silverado series trucks

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Reliability

They are not that heavy and have a smaller diameter. The length is right.

They are not as heavy and powerful as standard shock absorbers. Unfortunately, there were no noticeable changes in my truck's behavior. My truck has 300,000 miles on it so new shocks seemed like a no-brainer? I ordered new front shock absorbers but received the wrong item. Can one of the new rear shock absorbers also have a manufacturing defect? Wasn't one of them as hard when squeezed and sounded "squishy" like gas leaking around the piston seal? I just didn't feel good. These are amazing…

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Quality

My truck handles better and the ride quality is noticeably better

I have used KYB shocks on several vehicles in the past. They also meet or exceed ONE standards and I've never had any reliability issues. This is the reason for my purchase: a plus. They are always cheap. They were also easy to install. My truck drives better and the ride quality has greatly improved!

Pros
  • Installation Type: Vehicle Specific
Cons
  • Legacy Model

Excellent shock absorbers for shock absorbers, struts and suspension

My truck had a very common problem with the frame rails. I used stiffer rear shocks but went with these instead. Much happier. The ride starts out almost too soft, but after a few hundred kilometers they get a little firmer. They ride better than any damper I've put on this truck and still handle heavy loads very well. I know KYB makes a quality product and I have no doubt it will last.

Pros
  • KYB recommends replacement shock absorbers OEM
Cons
  • Available in white only
