Soccerstudd5 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I'm a newbie and I need shocks. Does anyone have to part numbers for KYB GR-2's for a 94 pathy? I'm going to do some JGC coils in about a month and am looking for some shocks. I've heard good things about these (correct me if I'm wrong) on AND off road and am trying to find some. Let me know if you have the pn's or have other suggestions. Thanks in advance for the help! And I tried the search but couldn't find much about this KIND of shock. -Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPath88 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Well I don't have part numbers but if you searched then you know it is best to get longer ones in the rear (and only the rear). With that info you should be able to talk to a sales person (in store or on the phone) and if they have the specs for the shocks they should be able to get you the ones you need. (standard pathy replacement shocks for the front and the longer ones in the rear) That is how I ordered my ProComps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soccerstudd5 Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 Yeah, I just found some on eBay for what seems to be a good deal. They are only rear though, but with what you said, I was thinking I could do just about anything in the front if it doesn't change the travel distance anyways.

Soccerstudd5 Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 It doesn't end quite yet so I guess I could call a store and get the specs and then check to see if they match and if it is as good of a deal as I think it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soccerstudd5 Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 Does anyone know about these shocks at all as far as off road performance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SuperSon Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Try to stick with the one that everybody uses.Im happy with my rough country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soccerstudd5 Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 (edited) I can't seem to find any for a lift. All that I find say with 0-1' lift. Am I just not looking in the right place? Do you have 8000's or 9000's? Edited April 17, 2007 by Soccerstudd5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87 Pfinder Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I would recommend the KYB Gas a Just over the GR2 if you do any off-roading. I have the Gas a Just and the are a great shock, and I really test them. I had the GRr2 in the rear and then switched to the Gas a Just. Awesome shock and a lifetime warranty.

Soccerstudd5 Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 (edited) Ok, thanks, well then I've narrowed it to 3 now with that info.... RC8000's, Trailmaster SSV's or KYB Gas a Just. Any suggestions? And thanks for the info thus far! And 87 Pfinder: do you have a lift at all with those Gas-a-Just?

Pavelow Leaks Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 They are pricey...but I love my Rancho 9000's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flnl Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I bought a set of ProComps ES9000. The rear ones have just arrived , and the front + stabilizer are still in NY but I hope they will be here next month... Now I need a set of coil springs for the lift.

Soccerstudd5 Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 Sounds GREAT! That's what I'm looking into as well. Let me know when you get them on and what you think about em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soccerstudd5 Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 In my further searcing, I've found some Trailmaster SSV's that say they're for a 89-92 Pathy with 4" NP43 Trailmaster lift and then a 86-96 with 0" lift. What's a NP43 TM lift? And what's the difference in the 89-92 and the 94 Pathy's suspension? I'll be lifting the pathy soon about 3" and didn't know which shocks I should purchase. I'll put the LINK here so you all know what I'm looking at. Sorry about this on going subject, just since I can't afford them for a few weeks, I have to to make sure I get what I want. Thanks all!

packie88 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 NP43 TM lift is the trailmaster lift that AC sells. its a 4 inch lift if i recall. slick has one on king caca. and im pretty sure there is no difference in the suspension of those years. what type of lift are you doing suspension or body lift. cause if you do a body lift it wont matter what shocks you do but suspension will.

Soccerstudd5 Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 I plan on doing a body lift AND suspension lift. I was referencing my SL though. I know BL's have nothing to do with shocks, but I'm looking at JGC coils and a t-bar crank. I've found some NEW JGC's for $20 that should give good lift since they're not old and saggy.

flnl Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 When lifting the front with a torsion bar adjust the shocks don't need to be longer than stock, but in Trailmaster suspension lift I guess it will, cause it drops the front diff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soccerstudd5 Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 That makes sense... so I can get the normal front and the lifted (longer) rears? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flnl Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 That makes sense... so I can get the normal front and the lifted (longer) rears? With TB crank in the front and JGC coils for the rear, YES! That's how I'm gonna do, hope next time it's gonna keep the tires on the ground: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
