Re: No KYB Shocks for rear of Burb?

I went with the Exce-G's (pictured), which my father and I run on our Silverados with great results. They noticeably improved the ride on my pickup compared to the off-road shocks that came with the leveling kit on that truck. Since I was missing a front on my Burb and needed something fast I over-nighted a front pair from Amazon. But now that I'm looking for the backs to do those as well it looks like they may not be made for the back. KYB's website doesn't list them. Rockauto doesn't list them. Amazon doesn't list them. But Summit does. Anybody running these things on the back?

You use these on your Silverados and you like them? I got a set for my 97 extended cab short bed 4WD and think that my 15 year old worn out stock GM units had a better ride!

I love the Gas adjusts on my 69 Cougar with a hardcore suspension package.
