Help restore the settled, controlled rear ride your truck left the factory with using the KYB shock absorber 344079, a nitrogen gas-charged Excel-G unit built on KYB's OE assembly lines. It drops in as a direct-fit rear replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1990-1996 Ford F-150, 1980-1998 Ford F-250 and 1989-2011 Ford Ranger — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

  • Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: the Excel-G is calibrated to restore the vehicle's original designed performance rather than change it.
  • Triple lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
  • Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand assembled in-house to help manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
  • OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket): made on the same KYB OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components, a recommended OEM replacement shock.

As a KYB Excel-G gas shock absorber, it helps restore the designed control and handling of your Ford truck. Sold individually; replacing both rear shocks together as a matched pair is recommended for balanced ride control.
