    Help sharpen steering response and keep body motion under control with the KYB Gas-a-just Front Shock Absorber (MPN 5550018), a high-pressure monotube gas shock. It installs in the front position of the 2007-2017 Jeep Wrangler and the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK, so if you're shopping for a front suspension shock absorber for either, this unit drops right in.

    The Gas-a-just monotube uses two separate 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 provides a comfortable ride during normal driving and adds performance on demand. Because the design separates the gas and oil, it resists fade for consistent response.

    • Up to 25% more damping: adds up to 25% more damping performance over original-equipment shocks.
    • Built for a lifted Jeep: components and valving designed specifically for your lifted Jeep, with added damping over the OE design for rigs that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
    • Triple chrome-plated rod: an ultra-smooth triple chrome-plated piston rod helps reduce seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.
    • Steering & safety: the higher gas pressure is designed to improve steering response and helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed.
