Great replacement - aftermarket

Very easy install, improved ride on my 2003 2WD Ranger XLT compared to some other installed Monroe truck shocks that ran stiffer.

Pros
  • Solid seamless eyelet mounting rings and debounce pin bushings
Cons
  • Very expensive

Restores driving performance OEM

Product fitted to my Mazda B2300 05 for 1.5 hours with no problems - just needed time to lift the front and the to remove tires. I have ridden original motorcycle shock absorbers with 120,000 miles. The dampers really restored the ride quality to the factory feel and also increased the rear height. Both of my front shocks were dead - when I squeezed them with my hands they wouldn't open on their own. I should have changed my shocks 50-70k miles ago.

Pros
  • Specially calibrated to restore original truck handling and ride characteristics
Cons
  • Unsafe

Decent snubbers in shocks, struts and hangers

but they seem a bit flimsy to me but they work better than the ones I didn't have a snubber on they are where they are toast didn't even work.

Pros
  • Solid seamless mounting lugs and bolt bushings to eliminate rattle
Cons
  • Nothing installed here

great replacement parts, best shocks, struts and suspension

Updates very easy to install, improved handling on my 2003 2WD Ranger XLT compared to some Monroe truck shocks, installed, they drove heavier.

Pros
  • Specially calibrated to restore the truck to its original handling and control characteristics

missing shock absorber parts

I received 2 shock absorbers in two separate boxes from Amazon. When I was ready to install them I opened both boxes and there were 2 shock absorbers but one of the boxes had no fasteners. Now I'm struggling to find bushings, metal washers and 2 nuts. NOT A HAPPY CAMPER!

Pros
  • installation type: vehicle specific
Cons
  • boring packaging

Great suspension for small trucks.

Adapted to Ford Ranger 2002 rwd. Easy to install, especially if you can lift the car. I install them when I'm doing the entire front, but if you just swap them out it takes about 20 minutes each time. The ride becomes much smoother, especially the springy suspension. At the same time, they are quite stiff, which translates into precise handling in corners and at higher speeds. For the price you can't beat them.

Pros
  • KYB Recommended OEM Luggage Racks for Replacement Trucks
Cons
  • Nothing
