Bring settled, controlled ride motion back to the rear axle with the KYB shock absorber, MPN 3450015, from KYB's Excel-G line. This nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube gas shock installs as a rear-position, direct-fit replacement for the 2011-2019 RAM 3500 (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment). KYB classifies the Excel-G as OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) — it is built to restore the vehicle's originally designed damping, not to change it.
Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: the Excel-G uses the same OE-quality components KYB supplies to new-vehicle manufacturers, and is a recommended OEM-replacement shock.
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, helping restore designed control and handling.
Strong, thick body and brackets: among the industry's thickest to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment. Because electronic safety systems depend on the suspension working as intended, the Excel-G helps keep those systems performing as designed.
Worn shocks often show as excessive body movement, bounce over bumps, or reduced stability — if the rear shock is the cause, this replaces it. Sold individually; replacing both rear shocks together as a matched pair is recommended for balanced control.
