Bring back the rear ride control on your Heavy Duty Ford truck with the KYB Excel-G KYB shock absorber, part number 349146. This nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube gas shock is a direct-fit rear replacement for the 2008-2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty, 2008-2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2011-2016 Ford F-450 Super Duty (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details). It is designed to restore the vehicle's original, designed damping — not change it.
- OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket): built on the same KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components and calibrated to restore original designed performance.
- 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.
- KYB-recommended OEM replacement shock that helps keep electronic safety systems performing as the manufacturer intended.
As this KYB gas shock absorber Excel-G is a rear unit, replacing both rear shocks together helps keep damping balanced side to side. If a worn or leaking rear shock is the cause of poor ride control, this replaces it.
