Shock absorbers KYB or FOX

Kyb are some of the best shocks you can get in terms of quality and lifespan. That being said they’re known for being stiffer. I happen to like it since it minimizes body roll and improves handling. Better loaded performance when towing or hauling heavy too. But you will notice it ride a little harsher.

KYB G shocks on mine f100 and they are absolutely butter

I put KYB monomax from Rock Auto they were a really great deal and feel great about a year later (almost 20k miles on em).

I recommend KYB shocks but not the Gas a Just ones. Swapped the oem ones out of my Wrangler and installed the silver ones. Rode a lot smoother, and Not expensive.

I found on a forum that rear springs for the 2009-2012 Vera Cruz fit the Santa Fe and give it approximately a one inch lift over stock and a much superior spring rate. Along with a new set of KYB gas shocks it changed the ride of the vehicle drastically for the better.

I have FOX... I'd buy them again...

I just lowered my wife's car (per her request) on H&R springs with new kyb shocks. It rides a bit stiffer (as expected) but no issues with rubbing or alignment. The turn-in response is greatly improved as well as body roll reduction.

Happy with the cheap kyb gas a just shocks I have on my c1500 for the money but I prefer bilsteins and have had them in many vehicles.

My brother got KYB ones and they are ok.

They are on the softer side, but so far they last pretty good. 3 years and 60000km and no leaks.

I had the Fox 2.0’s and the shock shaft wore through the top mounting plate.
