Smooth out the rear of your truck with the KYB Gas-a-Just KYB shock absorber KG5196, a high-pressure monotube gas shock that installs as a direct-fit rear replacement for the 2006-2008 Dodge Ram 1500, 2003-2010 Dodge Ram 2500, 2011-2013 Ram 2500, 2003-2010 Dodge Ram 3500, and 2011-2012 Ram 3500. It's cataloged for the rear position.

  • Gas-a-Just monotube design: 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.
  • Extra damping: adds up to 25% more damping over original equipment shocks, with components and valving designed specifically for Dodge trucks that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
  • Fade-free operation: the high-pressure monotube separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response, and the higher gas pressure is designed to improve steering response.
  • Reduced seal wear: an ultra-smooth triple chrome plated piston rod helps reduce seal wear.

KYB notes the Gas-a-Just also helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed. Sold individually; for balanced ride and handling, replace the rear shocks together as a matched pair.
