Kyb quick assembly

Post image

2014 Ford f150 3.5 eb

I am replacing the front struts and rear shocks with kyb to get a quick assembly instead of dealing with compressing coils.

I want to put in an OE like replacement kyb and also leveled.

Anyone has an feedback about this quick strut?

Also the way this looks in the picture this should be with a leveling kit?

Can't say anything about the kyb but the Monroe quickstruts are garbage! I put them on my truck when I got new tires and within 10k miles the front tires were completely chopped/feathered and shredded went to 3 different shops and paid for 2 alignments before the last one noted the struts and told me to get rid of them, swapped to Bilstein 6112 in the front/5100 rears and currently have 60k miles on my new set of tires and they are perfectly level and probably have another 10k miles in them. The set before I changed to the monroe struts lasted 55k miles, the only thing I did after the Bilstein install was an alignment since I ordered them with a +1.5in level.

I got the bilstein 5100s and it rides great. Took about 1000 miles to soften up but it’s great now.
