I had my X Reas removed today and KYB Struts, front, shocks rear installed. If I had the tools, lift, etc I'd do it myself, but I don't. I've watched so many videos and so many times I could do it in my sleep now (HA !!)
Just got done taking a 45 min ride on highway and city driving. I'm very happy with the change out. Rides great, and, I can see my hood now. Truck sitting nice and level now.
KYB Shocks, Struts = $320.00
(I bought 2 strut mounts I didn't need for $32 ea ( new ones came with the struts) so I'm returning those so price reflects just struts, shocks.)
Parts: 4 WHEEL DRIVE (2 WHEEL different Part #'s)
FRONT:
KYB Strut-Plus Spring & Strut Assembly
KYB SR4131 LEFT FRONT
KYB SR4130 RIGHT FRONT
REAR SHOCKS:
KYB 344410 Excel-G Gas Shock
* Remove X Reas System, (everything - I have it in my garage now)
* Remove X Reas Shocks
* Install, front and back KYB, and Alignment
= $560.00 w/TAX
TOTAL = $ 880.00
Thanks for all the suggestions and help Y'all.
cool, glad it worked out for you & you are happy with the KYB's. the front will lower a bit in the next 500-1000 miles but will still be about 1" above stock.
as i mentioned above, you didnt need the hardware kit, the shocks come with everything needed besides the big bottom bolts but i realize you didnt know that before ordering.
another suggestion is to upgrade to poly sway bar bushings to stiffen up the cornering a bit, once thing XREAS was great at was preventing excessive body roll.
