Just installed some KYB and happy with it.
I've used various manufacturers. KYB have always been good. I only use them now
I've always loved Bilsteins. Compared to blown shocks huuuuuge difference. Very precise steering and fantastic body control.
I changed over to Bilsteins struts and shocks 2 weeks ago and completely love the stiffness that comes with these bad boys. Had ranchos that were way too soft.
I got KYB's from RockAuto - $88 each for the rear, $187 each for the front. Ride is much smoother now.
Returned and bought kyb and have had no issues and the ride is great.
KYB for firmer sportier feel, and more durable
I’ll be honest, while it’s a massive improvement from where I was before changing them (the originals!????), I’m not a fan of the KYBs. They are SO STIFF.
I've tried loaded struts a few times on these trucks, they just can't stand up to use of such a heavy vehicle, the bushings fail nearly instantly.
Bought new struts from kyb, one was really stuff and looked new the other one was not as stiff and had a lot of dust on it meaning it could have been sitting for a while, is possible the less stuff one is damaged and I have to return it or is it normal for there to be a little bit of variance between the sides. I was pumping them manually as I know you have too and that's when I noticed the difference..
