Tough shock absorber for everyday driving

2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac 4x4 Very easy to fit, noticeably improved ride quality and looks good when the T-bar is rotated. After driving about 10,000 miles I'm still glad I got them.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Some cons

My Ranger's perfect off-road performance.

Used on a 2002 Ford Ranger Edge 4WD. Was afraid they would get too stiff for me as I've experienced that with blue and yellow Bilsteins. They are cool. Work on fast washboards and crawl over rocks.

Pros
  • Heavy Duty Finish
Cons
  • Not Bad

Great product for shock absorbers, struts and suspension

The best pair of shock absorbers for the money. One box was missing instructions and the second box had very incomplete instructions. I bought a full set of shock absorbers of the same model for our other car and had no problems.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • No instructions

Typical cheap shock absorber

Paint wears off when exposed to Brake-Clean, fasteners are cheap and rust easily. They are advertised as "gas dampers" so I think there is no oil in the damping system. And I'm assuming they're called "Mono-Max" because for the list price you only get ONE shock. I wouldn't buy them again but I haven't found anyone selling a quality shock absorber.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Available for replacement

Excellent shock absorbers for heavy applications!

I have been using KYB products since the late 70's. I never had any complaints. In fact, all of their suspension products work great! These upheavals are no exception. I installed them on a 2002 Ford Ranger 4WD. I wanted to pull a pair. My Hellig booster springs just overpowered the old Ford shock absorbers. Not these, they work great! Trailer and truck now feel absolutely stable.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • The list goes on.
