KYB gas shock install

Just installed the KYB gas shocks. The ride is fine with the amount of weight I carry most of the time(500lbs.). I also have the firestone ride rite air bags for any weight I would put on the truck.

 

which kyb did you install? GR2? GasAdjust? MonoMax? also you gotta remember a shock has nothing to do with weight carring capacity.

 

It is true the shock has nothing to do with rear ride height. However, more weight in the back needs more damping.

Pics would be nice.

 

I got the EXCEL-G shock. The dampening is fine for my work. I had bought the truck with monroe air shocks. But after I put on the air bags the ride was too bouncy. I noticed oil when I was putting in air for the shocks out of the valve stem. I thought a seal must have been bad inside of the shock?. So I replaced it with the kyb recommended by My mechanic. The ride seems alot more refined.

 

The rear leaf springs towards the front of the truck were rolling over. So the air bags helped with that problem of the excess weight. I only have 15lbs. of air in the bags and that cures any bottoming out issues I had. I happy with the ride. The big difference I noticed is how stable the truck feels when cornering.

 

Ok good the "excel g" models are an oe version of the gr2 which is a great shock!
