KYB 565062 MonoMax Gas Shock , Red

It works great. Truck rides like new. Should have done it sooner. I'd buy these again. E-Z install, top quality. Best money I've spent on my truck. Price was half of what national auto parts chains wanted for shock. Combine that with 5 day free shipping, and its a great deal. Don't delay in buying these!

Installed these yesterday and have only driven approx 100 miles on them, but they're much firmer than what I removed. Perfect when you have to drive 58 miles of two lane, winding, road five days per week.I'll have to revisit this review after a couple of 600rt mile trips planned for next month.Review specific to: KYB 565062 MonoMax Gas Shock,Red

Perfect shocks ! Brings new life to an old truck !

This is only a 3 day in use review, but my 2000 k3500 had tire rub and Monroe shocks I purchased last year just weren't cutting it. These shocks did raise my front just enough to keep the 285/75/16 from rubbing. Ride quality doesn't feel stiffer but 454 is a heavy engine so front suspension is getting a workout irregardless.

I used these on my 2004 astro van. Keep in mind, these are designed for heavy duty use. If you are looking for a car like ride, go for a something like the exel or monroe sensatracs.The only downside is..the stroke is a bit limited. I found that after cranking the torsion keys about 3 inches, the shocks would almost bottom out. So...make sure you match up your needs for stroke with the right shock. I am guessing this is where KYB decided to save some money was on the actual shaft. Hey, they are 60 bucks out the door. If you want it all, get some Bilsteins.After driving with them over 3000 miles, they did settle down a bit..however, with LT rated tires, you will feel a lot more bumps than the average "car shock". However, I can plow through ruts, potholes, drainages...and not worry as much about bottoming out. An astro van carries the majority of it's weight on the front.For the rear of the van, I went with exel G which work really, really well.It no longer wags in the wind or wallows in pain under load. Carried 2,000lbs inside the van for 3,000 miles with no problems.

Great shocks. Put them on a 94 suburban for towing and offroad use.

These are by farther best shocks for the money, greatly improve handling and ride, have used these for replacements on several of my vehicles, and they perform better than OEM.

So far so good, believe this is a good product, but this is a product that must stand the test before it gets rated
