These Gabriels are tight. The rear feels a little on the stiff side, but they should soften in a couple thousand miles. They seem really well made, too. The shroud covering the piston seems stout and they came with nice bushings. The stock KYBs were absolutely shot, but they gave it their best try.
Did you test the ride quality at different ride heights? I think if you raised up about an inch you would see that these are vastly superior to stock suspension. I had mine moderately low then raised them up 3/4 inch and the ride quality is much better. I have B16s.
This is the way.
Mine on my Corrado VR6 are set right in the middle and are as smooth riding as any car. It also corners better than any car I have owned.
I'm running 4600's on my blazer and they've been great.
I have B8 5100s in my 4Runner. Off-road or on-road I have never had an issue with them. I thought they were a noticeable improvement over my stock ride in terms of comfort, even with the 2" lift.
My DCC struts and shocks blew out and I was about to bite the bullet and order isweep cancellers along with a set of bilstien b8s. You just saved me $500 and a lot of headache from a less than ideal delete.
Oem sachs if you want them to last for a good amount of years.
On my 2003 Sierra SLE that button was for the magnetic ride control which kept the vehicle level under heavy loads or bumpy terrair. If you look under your truck, you should find orange Delphi shock absorbers with a wire going to them. Turning the magnetic ride control on actually makes the ride rougher but helps with level cornering. Oh and those orange Delphi shocks? $400+ each from a dealership.
Annoyingly I have a 1 year old kyb excel g that popped its seal. Cost to ship it back for warranty not worth it.
