I just bought a 2011 F150 Lariat 4WD 3.5L short bed. I installed Bilstein 4600 for rear shocks. They were weak. I then replaced them with Monomax rear shocks KYB 5650006 bought from Rockauto. Much better.
I have a Toyota Hiace Van here in Japan. I use it as a camper van and is always loaded down with weight. I noticed the KYB Mono max are not offered here in Japan, Do you what model is equivalent to them?
I'm not sure if there is an equivalent part offered in Japan, we're only familiar with our parts in the North American market. You may want to reach out to KYB Japan and ask them if they have a recommendation. Good luck!
Well installed the recommended KYB excel on my 2000 Isuzu Trooper and its a disaster, its all over the place. Difficult to imagine that is how Isuzu designed the thing new! Matter of fact the Kyb's I replaced were same model as the new and I kid you not, the older ones were a bit stiffer but still sloppy control. I'm thinking to go to Gabiel Max control or the Mononmax. Not sure if those will be too stiff now
Andre, we don't catalog an Excel-G for the 2000 Isuzu Trooper. Gas-a-just is the recommended OE replacement on a 2000 Isuzu Trooper, KG54304 for the front and KG54308 for the rear. Did you reach out to our customer support or tech support departments for assistance?
I have a 2011 3.7L mustang I drive my car pretty normal, I purchased some D2 sport racing lowering springs for looks mostly, and I will be receiving the kyb G shock xcel and struts in the mail in a couple days. My question is will this shock and strut fit with my lowering springs? I would have gotten the gas adjust but I saw this video too late.🙄
2011 Honda Pilot 2wd I’m going with the gas a just for small trailer or jet ski towing. My question is how is the comfort level on the ride and how do these feel vs oem Honda shocks. Guess we’ll find out lol.
We're OE on many vehicles like that Pilot, so our recommended OE replacements are going to feel very similar to how it drove when it was new. The Gas-a-just is made for when you add increased weight from things like towing, so you'll feel more in control with the added weight of a trailer, and similar to stock when that weight isn't there.
I’ll be purchasing KYB’s for my 89 IROCZ. I am adding 1.8” (F) and 1.6”(R) lowering springs. Otherwise I’m keeping original suspension. Which shock do I need?
If you have any questions or want to discuss the performance of KYB parts on your vehicle, please reach out to our tech support team. You can reach them by emailing techsupport@kyb.com to get the conversation started.
What about: twin tube gas adjustable? you never mentioned twin, nor twin tube gas adjustable. I'm looking for the smoothest ride possible, I've been thinking on getting the Avalon suspension to a Corolla, looking for that smoothness; so please feel free to correct me and give suggestions, for the softest ride possible, my Back and Buttocks will thank you
Swapping the entire suspension from a different vehicle may cause other issues around alignment and handling capabilities. We suggest having a conversation with your shop about your goals or reaching out to our technical support team by email. They can be found at techsupport@kyb.com
Unfortunately, I don't think we can offer any assistance. Since we don't offer that Toyota model in the US or Canada, you'll probably have to contact the KYB company that covers your region.
What you guys recommend for a Toyota Tacoma Prerunner 2012, she is stock tires and everything , sometimes I put heavy stuff on the bed , I just want something better Than factory , gas a just ?
The catalog at kyb.com/catalog has the recommendations listed when you look up your North American vehicle. If the PreRunner has the TRD package, then the Gas-a-just is the OE replacement, if it doesn’t come with the TRD package, then that’s the recommended upgrade.
Hello, I've been looking at shocks/struts for my Honda Jazz 2003 but i couldn't find any that goes with it so I'm wondering if the Excel G 333475 or 333474 is compatible with it? The only ones I can find are Honda Fit 2007 so I don't know if they will fit or not. Thank you so much and your response will be greatly appreciated!
This is the KYB Americas Corp. account and we cover North America. We only list the 2007 model and onwards because the Honda Fit came into our region at that time. If you are in North America, please reach out to our tech support department. If you're not in our region, please reach out to the KYB corporation that covers your region.
We'd recommend reaching out to our tech support team. They can assist you better than a RUclips comment reply. They can talk with you about how much your vehicle is lowered and if our parts will work with your setup. Please contact our tech support team, email techsupport@kyb.com.

Hi i just purchased 1968 mustang coupe. It was a V6 now a V8 302. 425hp. Just a weekend cruiser. It has the kyb gas. Excel -G coil over. Also new leaf Springs. Can they handle the new V8 hp. ??? Thanks.
Sounds like a great purchase! Our tech support team can offer some assistance with your questions and can be reached by emailing techsupport@kyb.com. FYI: We offer Excel-G and Gas-a-just shocks for that vehicle, not coilovers. The new KYB shocks and leaf springs will certainly help with the weight and power of the V8.
Hello....please before i buy KYB shock absorber i need your advice for what is the best for my car Nissan Qashqai j11 1.3 petrol engine 2019 model please reply if you have time thanks
We'd recommend starting with our updated video to help you determine how you use your vehicle here: ruclips.net/video/Iakdf8lI6lg/видео.html Then, head on over to our online product catalog and see what we offer for your particular Silverado: www.kyb.com/catalog/

I see this vid is 9 yrs old but maybe you monitor it. i have a 2015 Yukon xl with 5.3 v8. I've always loved the ride and handling. I often pull a trailer of Atv's total weight up to 4000 lbs. and I often carry plywood sheets. usually just a few hundred pounds. Here's the deal, I love it and don't really need improvement in handling but i am a cadillac ride freak so ride is most important to me. what should i buy to replace the factory shocks / struts
Good question. Our tech support team can more fully address it if you have further questions, but here's the quick answer. That platform came from GM equipped with monotubes, and our Gas-a-just monotube shocks are the recommended OE replacements on it. If you liked the way it felt when it was new, and it handled towing and hauling those kinds of items, then the Gas-a-just is probably what you're looking for. We have an online catalog where you can look up your specific vehicle and trim level to be sure what products we offer for it to help make your decision. You can email our tech support team at techsupport@kyb.com
@KYBAmericasCORP. I know all Toyota/Scion models offer KYB - Excel G shocks and struts and strut plus, for all gens of Scion models. As a 2015 Scion xB owner, it only offers excel g shocks and struts. My question is, why can’t u guys offer or make a gas-a-just monotube shocks and struts versions for more instead of restore? It would be a great option for daily and better performance as well. Is there a way to call u guys or send u guys an email, for some sort of special order to make a unique monotube gas-a-just shocks and struts rather than just excel g shocks and struts only? It would be awesome to have them. And one of a kind for the commuter cars like my xB that has something more unique, specifically from KYB. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
We appreciate your support and you asking for us to make a part for your vehicle. We make decisions on what upgrade monotubes we put into production based on vehicle type, popularity, market demand and product testing. These are decisions that we carefully consider. We have customer and tech support departments with email addresses and phone numbers listed on our site. Please email customer support with further questions here: kybcs@kyb.com
As we always say, it depends on what you want to do with that car. Our experts would need to know if the Mustang is modified and what you intend to do with it, then we'd compare that to what we offer for your vehicle. Some sample questions for example: Does it have a stock engine? Are there new leaf springs? Is it a cruiser, drag car, track car, show car, or something else? Our answer depends on your answers.

good morning to all my name is Ronnie Mohamed and i have a 2206 kia sorento and i want to purchase your brand for my SUV can you advice me on what type do i need for my suv . i will be waiting on your reply .
Hello Ronnie Mohamed, I’m going to venture a guess that you meant a 2006 Kia Sorento and if that’s true, we do offer Excel-G for all 4 corners of your vehicle. That’s the recommended OEM replacement part for your vehicle. I’d advise you to the check our catalog at www.kyb.com/catalog/ to see what coverage we have.
We always recommend going to our catalog and seeing what we offer for your vehicle and then deciding which, if there are any, of our options makes the most sense for the way you use the vehicle. www.kyb.com/catalog is the place to start and then we have plenty of resources online to help guide you through our product options. We have product webpages, informative product videos, an updated version of this video called, "How To Choose The Best Shocks", and talking with knowledgeable service techs and parts professionals can help as well. We also have a customer and tech support team that can help with any questions you may have about our products and your vehicle.
Yes, but speaking in generalities, most Gas-a-just are shocks. At the time this video was made, I'm not sure we had any Gas-a-just struts, so that may explain why it was phrased like that.
@@kybamericascorp I followed up and that appears to still be the case. However the middle range, both the strutplus and bare struts are technically gas filled. Just somewhat less stiff. They can be stiffened about the same difference with TPU elastomer inserts for about $30 an axle. They can be removed and reinstalled as desired. Seems like a reasonable light-tow solution for a full size SUV.

If they are made by KYB, they're correct for their specified application. The difference in price is based on the components and technology used, bare struts and shocks cost less than complete assemblies.
