I can help out with some KYB numbers...

KYB 344418 Rears (1984 JEEP CHEROKEE 2.8L 173cid V6)

KYB 344081 Fronts (2000 DODGE DURANGO 5.2L V8 OHV 2wd)

I'm dropped 4/5 with spindles and springs up front, and springs and shackles in the rear. No shock extenders in the rear.

Thanks, I will buy the front ones right away. Prop wait on rears since I do have shock extenders & someone else might be able to chime in.

So did anyone get in touch with "Eric" about KYB's , I got approximately 4/6 & desperately need KYB part #'s.
rear gas-a-justs are KG4012, i found them for like 32.xx at justsuspension.com. front gas-a-justs are KG5458. i prefer the gas-a-justs over the gr-2/excels

I just bought a 90 c1500 lowered which I think is a 4/6, but the ride is really stiff. I do know I have the stock shocks.

Is there a way to soften the ride? Maybe drop shocks?

Thanks for any information you may have.
