Damp bumps and keep your truck planted with the KYB Gas-a-just shock absorber (KG4012), a high-pressure monotube gas shock for the rear of the listed cars and trucks. This KYB shock absorber drops in as a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1998-2001 Nissan Frontier and 1984-1995 Toyota Pickup — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

  • Monotube gas design: a high-pressure monotube separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response, with a nitrogen chamber and floating piston that will not aerate.
  • 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.
  • Quick response: the higher gas pressure of the Gas-a-just responds quickly to help improve steering response.
  • Truck-tuned: components and valving designed specifically for trucks add up to 25% more damping over original-equipment shocks for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.

KYB notes the Gas-a-just also helps keep electronic safety systems performing as the vehicle manufacturer intended.

Will it fit my 1998-2001 Nissan Frontier or 1984-1995 Toyota Pickup?

Does it offer more damping than my original shocks?

KYB states the Gas-a-just adds up to 25% more damping over original-equipment shocks, with components and valving designed specifically for trucks that work, tow, and carry larger, heavier tires and wheels.

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.
