I"ve been running Rancho 5000 for many years (too many). Would these KYBs be an ugprade, and worth the money? ($180 for the set), or would I be better served putting the money toward a different make/model? I know this will be opinion mostly, but I'll appreciate any and all imput. I want these for my '92. The factory shocks on the '95 perform like they're new . I'm not a fan of super stiff suspension for offroading.

I have those. They are fine. I think everyone will tell you to use them. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

I had Rancho5000s now i have the KYB Gasajust, I like them better.

I have kyb gas ajust on my 89 lwb and they are great. I like the firm ride on road and they work great off road!

I replaced the stock shocks with these around 110k on my old 95 LS and they made my Montero look like it had a slight lift (due to the orignal stock shock sag). They provided a great ride.

The Gas-A-Just is a high pressure shock, and I recommend them highly. They are stiff on-road, but as soon as the pavement disappears, they are hands down the best shock I have ever used.

The GR-2 is NOT the same thing as the Gas-A-Just. I have not used them. Which one are you referring to? Your initial post says the former, while the description you have cut and pasted in is referring to the GR-2.

Never mind. I went to the KYB site and looked up the part number. It is for the Gas-A-Just. Buy 'em.


Designed to deliver maximum driving control, KYB's Gas-a-Just« High Performance Shocks provide a high performance ride. Gas-a-Just« High Performance shocksÆ higher gas pressure keeps tires glued to the road while its superior strength monotube design with floating piston makes for fade-free performance and the seamless cylinders and eye rings provide durability. The Gas-a-Just« High Performance Shocks offer a wide range of applications including RVs and motor homes.

Yes, they are high pressure. I made the mistake of cutting the hold back strap thinking they were "regular" shocks. I had to use the "powers of grayskull" to get them back down <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

I must have had more Wheaties than you. I never had a problem compressing those things.

An earlier post of mine talked about replacing my stock OEM shocks on my 1992 since it may be time. Would these Gas-Adjust KYB's be an upgrade from stock?
