KYB shock install on GMT-800

That's a bummer. My truck really needs them, though, you can tell how it bounces constantly.

That lift is pretty cool,how much will it lift....I wonder if it will lift my Burb


We sell alot of KYBs where I work,I'll be putting those same shocks on my Burb in a few months

The lift is rated at 6K pounds. It would work to just get the wheels off the ground to rotate tires and such but I wouldn't take it way up. The burb is what 7K?

It wouldn't lift my truck, then. Your truck is probably right there at 5500-6000 lbs.

Tyler, like I posted, my original shock were not bad. I can push and pull them and they feel the same as the new ones so I guess that is why I didn't feel any difference. If your shocks are shot then I would guess you would see a difference.

It surprised me, these are not gas pressured like some. When you push down they don't push hard back up at you like a gas shock.

Hmmmm, that's interesting, monotubes are ussually more stiff than regular twin tubes.

If anyone is interested I purchased the lift from Gred Smith Equipment I looked around for a while and they had the best price and shipping was by freight of course and fast.

How much does your truck weigh? Can't be much more than mine.
