KYB AGX Question

Are the 5th gen rear AGX's the same as the 4th gen or are they Cattman Modified? My rear shocks are starting to go and I would like to replace them. My stock fronts are fine for now, has anyone tried this combo?

I have the AGX's installed, we had to modify the fronts. It wasn't too bad, we just had to cut a metal part by a few mm shorter, after that the screw fit perfectly and it was fine.

The AGX rear shocks are not exactly perfect fit for 5 gen but you can use them without modification.

I'm running Tokico fronts and KYB(4th gen) rears and everything is working perfectly(also installed H&R springs). The rears will fit but the 2K spring will not sit perfectly flat on the shock perch. It teaters from side to side but after putting all the hardware back on it keeps everything in place. I have my rears set to 2 right now and it feels great. The rears shocks are the weak link in our suspension and by installing the KYBs it will make a world of difference. Bought my KYB rears from Shox.com for $80ea.
