    Replaced all 4 shocks on trooper with Kyb "gas a just" model. The old kyb super/ excel G model lasted 35k km. I have yet to test the new shocks on a mountain road but the ride feels tighter, more in control.

    I was hesitant to buy the grey gas a just since they were firmer, harder to compress than the old super model, but couldn't find the old super part nos in the shops. No regrets though, the Gas a just are better.

    I think the super/excel G model is too soft for the trooper. It compresses easily but can't expand immediately thus causing a "crash" over rough roads (bottoming out) even if lightly loaded.
    The gas-a-just are firm but have better control of the trooper's weight. Road imperfections are better damped.

    Cost? All 4 shocks cost less than one orig isuzu shock!

    Kyb Gas-a-Just part nos for trooper/ UBR73:
    Frt: 554125
    Rr: 554127

    Any comments from current users of kyb's "gas-a-just"?

    Yung Gas-A-Just na available dito sa atin na pang-Pajero ay for the front suspension lang ata.

    Pwede kaya iyang sa Trooper?

    Been using Gas-A-Justs in my pajero since i forgot already. Ang tigas niyan pang hand compressed but they perform admirably when installed.

    I got mine for P800.00 a piece. Makes perfect sense since changing all fours costs less than one OME shock. Pag nasira, palit agad. Kaya lang walang para sa rear ng Pajero.

    I forgot.... i'm using OEM kasi bago na pala auto ko hehe. 3 way adjustable off the factory

    is the trooper you are mentioning the latest model?

    sorry otep the trooper has ring/ring rear shocks. the pajero has stud/ring. and besides the trooper has longer rear shocks.

    the hi-lux front shocks(leaf spring) can be used for your rear pajero since you are lifted naman. of the rear of the suzuki vitara.

    Otep,
    I checked the Kyb catalog then looked for a shop that had the part i needed. What's the part no for pajero?

    Arb,
    Trooper is an 01 model but same series as current skyroof. Trooper uses stud/ring in front- will this work on Pajero?

    front trooper is longer than the pajero by by about 1.5" but it will fit if you cranked your torsion bar.
