Autozone drop shocks?
Does anyone have a part number or application for off-the-shelf shocks that will work for 5-6 inch rear drop? I put ECE's airbag setup on the rear of my burb, but the KYB shocks are terrible. I have gone into Autozone before and sifted through to find the length I needed for a dropped truck before, but all of their shocks are in sealed boxes now.

What`s terrible about the KYBs?They are a very high quality shock,unlike what Autozone would offer.There are several other choices in between.

Re: Autozone drop shocks?
They seem to be too soft for the heavy burb. Also, with the airbags it sure does rock alot in the back now. I was thinking some stiffer shocks and a swaybar would really help the ride quality.

Re: Autozone drop shocks?
Ok,this is a `Burb.I remember body-roll quite well from the`71 I had.Doesn`t KYB still make Gas-A-Justs?Does rancho make RSX9000s for lowered vehicles?They are great on my 4wd `91 Suburban.They are 9-position adjustable with a knob.I just use both extremes for ride or weight.Set on the tight setting while empty they ride like a rock.With weight they ride great.On the other end they ride great empty.

Re: Autozone drop shocks?
I love KYB's
 The white Gas-adjusts are much firmer than the silver colored GR-2's. Which ones do you have?? I run the firm ones.
