Restore the designed ride control and handling of your truck with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Shock Absorber 344373, a nitrogen gas-charged replacement rear shock. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1994-2002 Dodge Ram 2500 and 1994-2002 Dodge Ram 3500 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level fitment. KYB is a leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines with OE-quality components, calibrated to restore original designed performance rather than change it — earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Twin-tube, gas-charged design: nitrogen gas-charged construction that includes the same quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Damping valves: vehicle-specific, hand-assembled valves manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- OEM replacement: KYB's recommended OEM-style replacement shock for domestic trucks, designed to help keep electronic safety systems performing as intended.
Worn shocks can show up as excessive bounce, nose-dive under braking, or reduced stability; if a failed shock is the cause, this replaces it. Sold individually; replacing both sides on an axle together is recommended for balanced ride control.
