Chasing a Jeep Wrangler shock absorber for the rear of the 2018-2023 Jeep Wrangler? The KYB Gas-a-just Shock Absorber (P/N 5550017) is a high-pressure monotube gas shock engineered as the correct, monotube-designed OEM replacement for the rear of the 2018-2023 Jeep Wrangler. Its high-pressure monotube layout separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response, with performance advantages over the traditional twin-tube design.

  • Two working chambers: an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for responsiveness and control, plus a high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston that supports a comfortable ride during normal driving and adds performance on demand — so it never fades due to aeration.
  • Built to work and tow: Gas-a-just monotubes are designed for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
  • Triple chrome-plated piston rod: because fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure, the ultra-smooth triple-chrome-plated rod is made to reduce seal wear.
  • Supports vehicle systems: helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed, since they depend on the suspension working as the manufacturer intended.

The higher gas pressure responds quickly to improve steering response and helps restore the designed control and handling of the 2018-2023 Jeep Wrangler. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment details.

Frequently Asked Questions

What vehicle does this KYB shock fit?

It is designed as a rear monotube OEM replacement shock for the 2018-2023 Jeep Wrangler. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm engine-level fitment for your vehicle.

How is a monotube gas shock different from a twin-tube?

The high-pressure monotube separates the gas and oil into two chambers for fade-free operation and instant response, so it won't experience fade due to aeration like a traditional twin-tube.

Is this suspension shock absorber good for towing and larger tires?

Yes. KYB Gas-a-just monotubes are designed for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.

Why does it have a triple chrome-plated piston rod?

Fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure, so the ultra-smooth triple-chrome-plated rod is made to reduce seal wear.

Should I replace shocks in pairs?

This listing is for one shock. Replacing both sides on the same axle together is recommended for balanced, even ride control.
