    KYB Excel-G Shocks & Struts Reviews


    Noticeable difference

    Reviewed By Justin S (Goodrich, MI) Reviewed for a 1997 Ford F-150 —10/18/2017 6:17 AM

    My truck is 20 years old with stock shocks so I figured they were due for a change even though mine weren't completely toast. Installion was as expected on an old vehicle from the northwest but nothing too bad. Took me 3.5 hours and I'm certainly no mechanic. After inspecting my old shocks, I'm glad I changed them. They were way less functional than the new KYB replacements. Suspension is significantly less soft and the quality of the KYB shocks looked very good, especially compared to the OE

    Not sure which 1997 Ford F-150 Suspension Systems are right for you? We have over 6546 customer reviews, with an average rating of 4.5, to help you find exactly what you're looking for. Here's what some of our customers have said:

    " Bilstein rubber bumpers are half the size of the original equipment(OE) Ford bumpers(grommets)and more difficult to line up during installation. The front Bilstein shocks are about 1 inch shorter, when fully extended, than the OE Ford shocks. Also the Ford shock has a nut on the bottom of the top shaft that can be easily held with an open end wrench while turning the top nut with a socked but the Bilstein has an allen wrench hole on top, 50 turns with an open end wrench is not good." —Robert C from Goleta, CA bought a Bilstein Heavy Duty Shocks for a 1997 Ford F-150, 2WD.

    "Springs are worn and have compressed some. Bought the spacers to alleviate this. Install was not a problem since the springs were being removed for suspension upgrades/maintenance. Worth the money." —Wes Z from Glendale, AZ bought a Daystar Comfort Ride Lift Kits for a 1997 Ford F-150.

    "Product installed easily, with no problem. Did not need aftermarket upper control arms like the product overview said might be a possibility. Truck rides and looks great!! I gained approximately 4" at the center of the front bumper. ( The shocks were also replaced at the same time.) I'm running 285/70-17" tires with no rubbing issues." —Roan D from Tavares, FL bought a Daystar Comfort Ride Leveling Kits for a 1997 Ford F-150, 2WD.

    "They were almost easy to install, except that the boot was hard to get up inside the coil spring but I finally got it and they work great. I couldnt be happier" —Darin A from Portage, WI bought a Skyjacker Lift Kits for a 1997 Ford F-150.

    "I just installed these new shocks on my 1997 Ford Lariat 4X4 1/2 ton extra cab pickup and i just handles great now. Better than when it was new i think. I put new Goodyear Wranglers on about 2 weeks before the shocks and that helped alot but the new Skyjackers and new breaks made this truck diver like new again. It has 120K miles on it and i think it even drives and handles bettr than when i bought it in 1998" —Dan B from Kent, WA bought a Skyjacker Lift Kits for a 1997 Ford F-150.

    "This is a great looking shock that was easy to install and offers a very smooth and stable ride." —James P from Powhatan, VA bought a Skyjacker Lift Kits for a 1997 Ford F-150.

    "Received shocks quickly. Install was straight forward and easy enough, no surprises. Trucks rides better now. Decent value for the money. Hopefully Skyjacker will take care of business and honor the rebate." —Aaron B from Wichita, KS bought a Skyjacker Lift Kits for a 1997 Ford F-150.

    "Installing these shocks as with any others is pretty straight forward if you've had the experience doing so. However, most companies that sell shocks usually include a set of installation instructions with their product. Not so with the Skyjacker brand. What is noticeably missing are the torque specs necessary for installing the bushings. Since they are using polyurethane bushing these can have different torque applications than what Ford specs call for. Also, if you navigate to Skyjacker's website, they do not have installation instructions available at this time." —Stephen C from Jeffersonville, IN bought a Skyjacker Lift Kits for a 1997 Ford F-150.

    "This isn't my first set of Gabriel HIJACKER Shocks but this set is for a totally different purpose than my prior Gabriels. I use my F150 to tow a variety of trailers of various weights. The Gabriel HIJACKER Shocks allow me to adjust the capabilities of my truck to obtain the desired capicity for ultimate safety depending on the weight being towed. My other Gabriel HIJACKERS were on my 70 AAR Cuda unmarked pursuit Police Vehicle. Those shocks allowed me to put the power to the ground to utilize the torque and horsepower generated by a built 340 six-pack to maintain control of the vehicle on the curvy mountain roads I patroled while rapidly ending many pursuits which greatly reduced the threat to the motoring public. " —William B from Bryson City, NC bought a Gabriel HIJACKER Shocks for a 1997 Ford F-150, 2WD.
