KYB Shocks

[killerb]

Has anyone used these? Just looking for input, I have found plently of info on other brands but didnt get any search results for these on here. Just weighing my options and these keep coming up.

I have them on my wife's 1986 monte carlo ss. And the ride is like a cadie. but I have the bilstien on my hummer And I'm very happy with them.

Actually that brings another question up, are you running the Bilstein 5100s? I keep finding mixed information about those too. I know most people on here are running them with the t bar crank, but I do not have that nor intend to do it, any idea if those will work at stock height? Again mixed info on it, some sites say they are for a lift, others say they work for 0"-2.5" lift.

My H3T had KYB Gas-A-Justs when I bought it. Excellent ride, good steering response, very stable at interstate speeds. I never think about them while driving.

Yes I have the 5100s and I had them on be for the the t bar adjustment, And I live in Michigan and are roads suck, its like 4 wheeling every time I drive to the store. And I have run 33'' tires and now 35'' tires. KYB are definitely a high quality shock.

Thanks to both of you, this helps a lot. I am in Buffalo, NY so yeah I totally understand the feeling about crap roads haha. I had already narrowed down my choices to the KYB or the Bilsteins,I just couldnt move forward with a purchase without getting more info about the KYBs. There really isnt a massive price difference between the two but the KYBs are less expensive. Would you spend the extra for the Bilsteins, is it worth the extra cash?

I had them on for about 6 months..I didn't like them..I ended up with Bilsteins
