Kyb are some of the best shocks you can get in terms of quality and lifespan. That being said they’re known for being stiffer. I happen to like it since it minimizes body roll and improves handling. Better loaded performance when towing or hauling heavy too. But you will notice it ride a little harsher.
KYB G shocks on mine f100 and they are absolutely butter
I put KYB monomax from Rock Auto they were a really great deal and feel great about a year later (almost 20k miles on em).
I recommend KYB shocks but not the Gas a Just ones. Swapped the oem ones out of my Wrangler and installed the silver ones. Rode a lot smoother, and Not expensive.
I found on a forum that rear springs for the 2009-2012 Vera Cruz fit the Santa Fe and give it approximately a one inch lift over stock and a much superior spring rate. Along with a new set of KYB gas shocks it changed the ride of the vehicle drastically for the better.
I just lowered my wife's car (per her request) on H&R springs with new kyb shocks. It rides a bit stiffer (as expected) but no issues with rubbing or alignment. The turn-in response is greatly improved as well as body roll reduction.
I had the shocks on my old cherokee. They were definitely better than what I had on it before, but they replaced 30 year old 200k shocks.
I did a rough country lift on my Silverado. The shocks aren’t bad but they definitely aren’t great. It handles bumps better than it did when it was stock but I’ll definitely be upgrading to bilsteins when these shocks go bad.
Their hard parts like control arms and brackets are pretty good, but their soft parts like shocks and joints aren't very good. They tend to be clunky and not last very long.
Have installed a bunch of their lifts and shocks. Decent lifts for the price. Shocks I'm not that impressed with.
