Restore the ride control, stability, and handling of your Heavy-Duty Ford Super Duty with the KYB Excel-G Rear Gas Shock (P/N 345070). It drops in as a direct-fit rear shock absorber for the 2005-2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty, the 2008-2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and the 2011-2016 Ford F-450 Super Duty (all engines), designed to bring back the vehicle's original engineered damping rather than change it.
The Excel-G is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube shock built on the same KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components — earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Twin-tube gas design: nitrogen gas-charged, calibrated to help restore the truck's designed control and handling.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand-assembled in-house to manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Dust cover included: helps shield the piston rod; per the catalog it does not include a bump stop.
Compressed length 17.24 in, extended length 29.64 in, and a 12.40 in stroke. Country of origin: Japan. Sold individually — the listed Super Duty applications use two rear shocks, so order 2 and replace both sides together as a matched pair for balanced control.
