I read on several other cars forums that KYB's aren't meant for drops more than 1 inch

ALWAYS mount KYB's (and all others, too) vertically in a vise, and cycle them up and down several times before assembling the struts. This removes the nitrogen from the oil, where it gets mixed during storage/shipping, and redistributes it into the gas chamber. If your shocks are noisy, remove them and do this. Voila, no more squelchy/bubbly noises.
