kyb gr-2's

Post by ezernut9mm »

got em installed yesterday, and man, what a difference. of course anything would be better than what was on there. all four had been leaking and looked pretty close to original or at least early replacements. truck doesn't feel like it's on the open ocean anymore. next i'm going for a front swaybar.

I was wondering if these shocks work if the suspension is lowered. I have the DJM beams and lowered shackles. Just not sure if these are OK.

Thanks

i have about 2" of drop all around. there is still plenty of travel for my application. i know there are lots of shocks out there just for lowered trucks.
