kyb shocks/ part numbers
Anyone using kyb gas a just shocks on a 4-6 or greater drop. I had them on another truck, and want to put them on again, but can't get kyb to help me out with length specs etc.. I guess they won't publish the info I need to look them up that way. So if any one has them and knows part numbers I would really appreciate it. Thanks Jared

Re: kyb shocks/ part numbers
If someone has this information and posts it, are the shocks going to be different for a 67-72 setup vs. a 73-87?
If so... can someone also post up the parts numbers for the 67-72 KYB drop shocks. Thanks in advance! And, I hope that I didn't hijack your thread jared78; this is a question I've been meaning to ask but always seemed to forget. ![]()

Re: kyb shocks/ part numbers
no all the shocks are all the same. i prefer doetsch tech shocks for lowered trucks. although i have KYB's on my Caprice and i love them. KYB's just dont work well in the rear of trucks because trucks are so light. thats my 2 cents on shocks

Re: kyb shocks/ part numbers
Are those ECE numbers or KYB numbers?
It looks like you can read a different number thru that sticker. (in the lower RH corner)

Re: kyb shocks/ part numbers
Excellent, I was just about to come over here and post that the number didn't correspond.
According to Advance Auto Parts: KYB #344055 (rear) - $33.99 (ECE price $40.00) KYB #344068 (front) - not listed (ECE price $40.00)

Re: kyb shocks/ part numbers
![]() ![]() Besides usually when you order parts by calling ECE they will usually beat the price you thought they were going to charge. Stan, Mark, and the rest of the guys are great!

Re: kyb shocks/ part numbers
EDIT: I have a different number for a 6" rear drop shock for a 67-72 truck. (KYB#344067).
I'm looking for the front shock number for a 4" drop. (67-87) Anyone have this number?

Re: kyb shocks/ part numbers
I saved the cardboard ends off of the KYB shock boxes that I got from ECE. I some how lost the front box end,... and need that number.
The number I posted (344067) is for KYB 6" drop rear coil springs.

Re: kyb shocks/ part numbers

Re: kyb shocks/ part numbers
Keith, depending on the drop will the shock be different? It seems like ECE only offers one set at least according to their site.

Re: kyb shocks/ part numbers
lolife, is your front drop all spring or a combo of springs and spindles? My point is that the spindle drop doesn't count when computing what shock you need.

Re: kyb shocks/ part numbers
I need a shock that will work with a 3" front spring. (I'm also running a 2.5" spindle for a total of 5.5" drop)

Re: kyb shocks/ part numbers
are those the 67-72 part numbers or 73-87. If they are 67-72 are they for coil or leaf rearend? I know that if they are leaf spring numbers they'll work for mine too.

Re: kyb shocks/ part numbers
jared78,... sorry your thread got hijacked.
The fronts will be the same 67-87. The rear shock numbers I posted are for 67-72 coil spring truck. I will edit my post. Maybe calling KYB would be the best bet.
