Restore the designed control and handling of your truck with the KYB Excel-G Gas Shock 344399, a front suspension shock absorber that drops in as an OEM replacement for the 2002-2005 Dodge Ram 1500 (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine applications). KYB is a world-leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines using OE-quality components, earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification — it's calibrated to restore original performance, not change it.
- Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design: includes the quality components KYB's global OEM products use and is a preferred choice of professional technicians.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: designed to reduce 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.
- Strong, thick body and brackets: help minimize flex to maintain correct alignment, and help keep electronic safety systems performing as designed.
KYB-recommended OEM replacement shock. Ride comfort matters, but restoring ride control, stability, stopping and lane-change responsiveness is critical.
