Firm up the rear ride of your Jeep with the KYB Gas-a-just Suspension Shock Absorber 5550019, a rear high-pressure monotube gas shock that installs as a direct-fit replacement on the 2007-2017 Jeep Wrangler and the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment).

  • High-pressure monotube design: separates the nitrogen gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response, avoiding the aeration fade of a traditional twin-tube.
  • 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 for a comfortable ride during normal driving.
  • Up to 25% more damping: adds up to 25% more damping performance over original-equipment shocks, with components and valving designed for a lifted Wrangler that works, tows, and runs 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.

The higher gas pressure responds quickly to help improve steering response, and KYB designed the Gas-a-just to help keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as intended. Signs the original rear shock may need replacing include fluid leakage, excessive bounce, or a loose, floaty ride.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the KYB 5550019 and where does it mount?

It is a rear high-pressure monotube gas shock absorber (KYB Gas-a-just). It mounts at the rear suspension to damp motion and help control ride and handling.

Which vehicles does this shock fit?

It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2017 Jeep Wrangler and the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the correct application for your vehicle.

How does the monotube design differ from a twin-tube shock?

The high-pressure monotube separates the nitrogen gas and oil into distinct chambers, which is designed to resist aeration fade and provide instant response and control.

Should I replace the rear shocks in pairs?

Replacing both rear shocks together is a common best practice for balanced, even damping. This listing covers one shock; confirm the quantity your job requires.

Is this shock suited to a lifted Wrangler?

KYB states its components and valving are designed for a lifted Wrangler, adding up to 25% more damping over OE for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
