i just ordered gifts for my truck 4 kyb gas-a-just shocks and a 4.56 ring and pinion. I cant wait to see how it rides with the new shocks and to get some power back with the ring and pinion.

 

You doing the gears?

 

Yeap my cousins a mechanic he is going to do the install i would be scared to do it myself to many things that have to be set right

 

KYBs? If i was going to spend a chunk of money on shocks I would get some Bilsteins. They can't be THAT much more.

 

I read most of your posts and wonder why you are on here, id be pretty pissed if i bought what i wanted and some punk high school kid that cant keep his mouth shut posts crap like this on my threads. KYB makes a nice adjustable shock....im sure you will like them OP, had them on my old s-10 and they rode nice

 

let us know if you like the power gain and get better mpg, i have been thinkng of doing 4.56s as well. what size tires do you have?

 

I agree, he posts in almost every thread. Most of his responses aren't even helpful at all.

OP: good choice on the shocks.

 

i had kyb's on my last truck and loved them.

 

If there was a like button I would like this. And OP Good Choice! Let us know how much better the ride is with the bigger gears!

 

Take a chill pill son

 

yeah i know .....i just get sick of his useless posts in every other thread

OP: sorry for the thread jack man!

 

1. I am here because I own a Ford Ranger and I enjoy working it, I also enjoy passing on the knowledge that I have learned from researching and foruming to other people that need it. This is also a public forum so I am entitled to be here, just like you, just like everyone else.
2. Yes, I am a punk high school kid. Probably for another few years.
3. If one does not want opinions and comments from the other memebers then don't post a thread. Period. PUBLIC FORUM. This means I can publicly ask questions and state my opinions as much as I want, within reason of course. As long as it is on topic and follows forum rules I am free to post it up.

I have a lot of opinions and a lot to say. Sorry, I don't keep it to myself. And my posts helpfulness is irrelevant.

Thank you


I'm not gonna junk of this thread so I will just leave this here and leave this thread with an argument about me. Wish your truck Merry Christmas from me OP lol

nothing wrong with kyb's. I have them on my mr2 and they preform great!

 

i spent a week reading up on different makes and models of shocks the only complant i seen on the kyb's was rusting from road salt but they dont salt the roads here i really wanted the kyb monomax's but they only make them for the rear of my truck
