Review: I bought a pair of these shocks because one of the original shocks on my truck had failed. Replaced them both and a month later the one on the driver's side failed. Review: The front shocks on this 1981 F100 were junk! They weren't shocks, they worthless metallic tubes bolted to the suspension. I have owned a 51 Jeep, 59 Chevy Fleetside, 69 F100, 79 F150 still own an 80 GMC K2500 4X4 and now this 81 F100 I know what it should drive like for a 1/2 truck and with new KYBs on the back and as of today the new desertcart supplied KYBs on the front, it drives like it should instead of a dead slush-bucket. The price was right, they restored the ride and improved the safety and met my expectations and I like them. I have a lot of experience with KYB products and so far I have never been disappointed in KYB. ## Features - KYB recommended OEM replacement shock for domestic trucks - Specifically calibrated to help restore original handling and control characteristics - Uses a seamless working cylinder matched with a Teflon coated piston band for a positive seal and longer life - Triple chrome plated piston rod and multi-lip oil seals that reduce wear.Upper Mount Type:Stud - Solid seamless mounting eye rings and bolt bushings to eliminate rattles ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000C44CDU | | Auto Part Position | Front | | Automotive Fit Type | Vehicle Specific Fit | | Best Sellers Rank | #220,671 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #693 in Car Shock Absorbers | | Brand Name | KYB | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Car, Truck | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (265) | | Extended Length | 14.76 Inches | | Exterior Finish | Chrome | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00781552440499 | | Included Components | Shocks and Struts | | Item Weight | 1.36 kg | | Manufacturer | KYB | | Manufacturer Part Number | 344049 | | Material Type | Chrome | | Model Number | 344049 | | OEM Equivalent Part Number | 344049 | | Set Name | KYB Excel-G Shocks & Struts Set for Dodge Dakota, Dodge Durango, and Ford Bronco models | | Style Name | Modern | | UPC | 781552440499 | ## Product Details - **Auto part position:** Front - **Brand:** KYB - **Exterior finish:** Chrome - **Style:** Modern - **Vehicle service type:** Car, Truck ## Images ![344049 Excel-G Gas Shock - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/512qGQwQKnL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Review *by D***R on 24 May 2021* I bought a pair of these shocks because one of the original shocks on my truck had failed.
