Firm up front-end control on your work truck with the KYB Gas-a-just High Pressure Monotube Gas Shock KG5043, a direct-fit front suspension shock absorber for the 2003-2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty and 2003-2004 Ford F-350 Super Duty (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details). Its components and valving are designed specifically for Ford trucks, adding damping for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.

Monotube design: The high-pressure monotube layout separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response, unlike a traditional twin-tube shock that can aerate.

Two working chambers: An air-free hydraulic piston and valve area handles responsiveness and control, while a high-pressure nitrogen gas chamber with a floating piston supports a comfortable ride and adds damping on demand.

Triple chrome-plated rod: An ultra-smooth triple chrome-plated piston rod reduces seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.

Added performance: The higher gas pressure is designed to improve steering response, and KYB rates up to 25% more damping over original equipment shocks. It also helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as the vehicle manufacturer intended.

Frequently Asked Questions

What vehicles does the KG5043 shock fit?

It is a direct-fit front shock absorber for the 2003-2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty and 2003-2004 Ford F-350 Super Duty. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your vehicle.

Is this a front or rear shock?

This KYB Gas-a-just KG5043 is cataloged as a front suspension shock absorber for the listed Ford Super Duty applications.

What makes a monotube shock different from a twin-tube?

The high-pressure monotube design separates the gas and oil into working chambers for fade-free operation and instant response, rather than letting fluid aerate as a twin-tube can.

What are signs my shock may need replacing?

Common signs include fluid leaking from the shock body, excessive bouncing, reduced ride control, or uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause before replacing.

Should I replace shocks in pairs?

Shocks are sold individually, but replacing both on the same axle together is a recommended best practice for balanced, consistent ride control.
