Damp out bumps and keep your truck planted with the KYB Excel-G shock absorber (P/N 344376) — a nitrogen gas-charged front shock built on KYB's OE assembly lines. This KYB shock absorber drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1994-2001 Dodge Ram 1500 and 1994-2002 Dodge Ram 2500; see the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact truck. Classified OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket), the Excel-G is calibrated to restore the vehicle's originally-designed control and handling, not to change it.

- Triple lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand assembled in-house to manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
- Strong, thick body and brackets: minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment in all conditions.
As the KYB recommended OEM-replacement shock for domestic trucks, the Excel-G also helps keep electronic safety systems performing as the manufacturer intended. Sold individually; replacing shocks as a matched pair is recommended for balanced ride control.
