Your cart is empty.Tough conditions demand tough truck shocks. The large bore KYB MonoMax provides the additional stability that heavier, more powerful or high center of gravity vehicles demand. The KYB MonoMax is a heavy duty monotube shock absorber that provides the most handling, control and durability of any KYB shock; and it’s just for trucks. The MonoMax’s tough design automatically adjusts to driving conditions with fade-free performance. The KYB MonoMax has an outstanding reputation for vehicles that do real work, go off-road, tow a trailer or haul heavy loads. It uses a work-ready, zinc-coated steel piston ring and includes an off-road dust boot.

KYB MonoMax are some of the best no nonsense shocks on the market. I bought these for my 2003 Chevy S10 4WD. Everything I buy for my truck is ACDelco if available, except for the shocks. Comfortable and yet sturdy ride = confidence.

Used for 1998 gmc 4x4 with no lift, replacing some worn out monroe shocks all around, along with stabilizer links/bushings etc to correct sloppy steering/body roll which as part of the replacement they worked. Now after about 3 years they are not holding up, I put about 10k miles on them before I cracked a stabilizer link to the control arm. Now I need to replace them as well as the links, and the rear end is sinking as it was before I installed these. 3 years might not be bad if I was doing 10k a year but I barely did 3k a year.

These shocks work great, they were a little hard to get on. I would suggest zip tying the shocks so that they are all the way dow, so they fit under the car.

I was replacing the original Bilstein shocks that came with the truck and didn't want to sacrifice anything. The Bilstein's were hard to find so I went with these knowing that KYB has a good reputation (the cost was a bit less too). I've had them on my vehicle for about 6 weeks and the ride and handling are exactly what I hoped for - very controlled. I would not hesitate to recommend these to anyone looking for an alternative to Bilstein quality.

After wrestleing this shock for an hour and removing my sway bar. I found that the Bell at the top of the shock obstructs tightening of the bolts. And the non removeable boot obstructs the view during installation. The OEM/Bilstein ACDelco shock available has a removalble boot and no obstructions to the bolt mounts, and the bolt holes are full holes aiding installation. I would never be able to install this without removing the frame members for the sway bar mounts. That is not even a guarantee that the shock could be bolted and it would have had to be with an open wrench. This shock does not fit ZQ8 and the ZQ8 equipped extremes- Period. I would rate this zero stars if I could. I was able to reinstall the ACDelco 540-44 in a minute with no drama what so ever. Now I have to reassemble my Truck and wait for the right part.
