    Whats up all! I just installed some KYB KB5462 rear shocks on my truck. Does anyone know if both sides, driver and passenger, are the same? Another words, are the shocks for both sides the same or are they different?

    The reason I ask is because the Monroe rear shocks I removed were different sizes. What the heck! The driver side was about a half inch taller then the passenger side. Both rear shocks had different part numbers too? I wonder what the heck the previous owner was doing! da heck with it!

    thanks for reply. the new shocks i installed were KYB KB5462. they come up as being the same for both the passenger and driver side. the old shocks though, monroe, were different. one was longer than the other i dont know why. KYB website says that both rears KB5462 are the same for sides? Did i do something wrong thanks.
