75% of the item description is correct although there are things to make it better understand like the shipping handling box has a damage due to the strap cut off to hold the shock's extended action. Product wise I am happy with the performance on a bit high speed of its dumping and rebound action of the shocks. after installation last March 11 2026

Excellent product and fast customer service! Everything was exactly as advertised and this set makes the 3rd set I’ve purchased for other folks truck and installed it for them. Shock Surplus is my go-to place now for any suspension related parts especially leveling kit packages.

This guys have been great

This guys have been great. They are willing to help you decide the best for your truck according to your needs, not to overspend!
Even with that I decided to overspend just for the looks.
They have been answering all my questions and the product have arrived always in great condition and timing.

Finding good people to help!!

Once the team at shocksurplus were able to get back to me about my application issues, they were very helpful. Just like all companies, they are short staffed and unable to help all of us and our problems.

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re very sorry to hear about your experience. We understand how frustrating and disruptive this has been, especially with your trucks being down.

This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we sincerely apologize for the delays and lack of resolution so far. We would like the opportunity to escalate this and get it properly addressed.

Please reach out directly to one of our managers at jeff@shocksurplus.com or kristie@shocksurplus.com with your order details so we can review everything and work toward a resolution as quickly as possible.

They know their stuff

First of all they're fired up about their products which is always refreshing to see. And like most people who are really into something they know their stuff. They have lots of resources online to educate yourself. Unfortunately I've got to ding them for advertising products as in stock that clearly were not and taking a while to get to the bottom of that. That was pretty frustrating. That said I will definitely do business with them again.

Good Price, Fast Shipping

Easy to find what I needed. Hard to go wrong with KYB shocks. Price was lower or on par with anywhere else. Shipping was about as fast as Amazon. Will definitely buy from again.

Warranty Support

I had a strut on my Tacoma blow out and leaking oil, I reached out to Shock Surplus and they were great and very easy and quick to respond to my questions. Thanks to Cheri Cortez who responded to all my questions clearly and made the process so much easier and now I have replacement struts for my truck.

Great customer support on manufacturer defective shocks

I received new Eibach shocks that had a manufacturer defect; bad welding and bad zinc coating. The shocks were showing rust in the poorly welded area. Shock Surplus handled the issue quickly. They quickly sent me replacement shocks and a return label so I could return the manufacturer defected shocks. I will happily use Shock Surplus again.
