KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:565086
Restore the front ride control of your heavy-duty Ram with the KYB Excel-G KYB shock absorber (MPN 344364), a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube gas shock built on KYB's OE assembly lines. It installs as a direct-fit front replacement for the 1994-2010 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500, 2011-2013 Ram 2500, and 2011-2012 Ram 3500 (All engines).
KYB calibrates the Excel-G to help restore each vehicle's original, designed damping rather than change it — earning the classification it calls OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket), and making it a KYB-recommended OEM-replacement shock.
Sold individually; the front axle uses two, so order 2 to replace both sides as a matched pair for balanced handling. Compressed length 13.98 in, extended length 23.43 in, 9.45 in stroke. Country of origin: Mexico.
