Shock absorbers KYB or FOX

KYB makes good shocks, but I’m wary of most “quick struts” because almost all of them use the cheapest upper mounts and bearings possible.

Fox 2.5 in adjusters custom tuned from AccuTune are amazing and they'll tune the shocks for the ride you want it and your mods. I have no regrets.

I've experienced zero nose dive after I lifted it. I used Fox shocks

KYB are usually the best value for the quality

Usually change the whole set since the labor cost is already there to open the whole part. Shocks can get OE parts from KYB.

I like the MonoMax, good bang for the buck

Used to have some on my old Ram. Fairly decent middle of the road option for shocks and they do well with normal commuting.

They’re fine stock replacements, mine just started to leak after 4k years and roughly 20,000 miles

I was expecting KYB to last way longer than this. The OEM struts/shocks on my 2007 Rav4 lasted 193k, and I replaced the front struts and rear shocks with KYB from RockAuto. After 37k miles (230k miles now), it's bouncy again.

I installed KYB shocks and the ride quality sucks. Very rough
