Hey guys,

I have some 4" lift shocks on my Safari which are now too long since I removed some 50mm spacers. I now have to certify it for a few things so I'm looking into some suitable shock absorbers to keep the springs captive.

At first I was looking at EFS 75mm lift shocks, I've had some before in my old Landcruiser and like them but that was on Leaf springs.

But I am able to get some KYB shocks for a very good price, they are just OE standard shocks. They happen to be for Landcruisers which gives me the right travel.

The KYB's will cost less than half the EFS ones but I don't know if they will be up to the job. i.e. occasional Rallywoods but mostly towing and camping trips etc.

Has anyone used standard KYB shocks and are they ok?

I would say they would be similar to the Monroe Adventure so would be fine for the odd trip and traveling etc. I run the Monroe in the front of mine but looking for a pair of 4inch shocks for the front of mine as they top out all the time.

What are you going to do with your old shocks?

Cheers for the feedback, for the price I think I'll get them and see how it goes. Too many other expensive things to sort out to be able to justify pending $1000 on some EFS shocks.

As for my 4" ones, I will sell them but not until I've tested out the new ones. Will put them on here if I do sell them.
