kyb shocks/ part numbers - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jared78 · 03-03-2009, 02:16 AM

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

Lets see if you get a better response in the Suspension forum.

72BlckButy · 03-03-2009, 02:31 PM

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.

beefshreadder116 · 03-03-2009, 07:14 PM

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

72BlckButy · 03-03-2009, 09:18 PM

bump for KYB parts numbers...

jholley · 03-03-2009, 09:40 PM

This what ECE just sent me for my 2/4 drop on a 70. Hope it helps.

Thanks Jim!

bump to make sure the numbers pictured above will work for jared78.

jholley · 03-03-2009, 09:48 PM

btw my actual drop is more like a 4.5/6 but they based the shocks on the springs which where 2/4

corando · 06-14-2011, 10:36 PM

Is the ride good

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

jholley · 03-03-2009, 09:56 PM

Good call lolife.

The 7510 number crosses to KYB #344055
The 7502 number crosess to KYB #344068

72BlckButy · 03-03-2009, 10:02 PM

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)

jholley · 03-03-2009, 10:08 PM

Thanks for bringing that to my attention Blckbuty.

Oh well I guess I'd rather give my money to ECE than Advance anyway. Although now they are going to be pissed at me for giving away the secret.

72BlckButy · 03-03-2009, 10:16 PM

Hey in times like these every dollar counts.

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!

**lolife99** · 03-03-2009, 10:57 PM

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?

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.

do you think the 344067 will work for the 5" rear drop?

72BlckButy · 03-03-2009, 10:59 PM

Keith, depending on the drop will the shock be different? It seems like ECE only offers one set at least according to their site.

jholley · 03-03-2009, 11:03 PM

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.

**lolife99** · 03-03-2009, 11:14 PM

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)

jared78 · 03-04-2009, 12:12 AM

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.

**lolife99** · 03-04-2009, 07:24 AM

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.
