KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:KG5487
Firm up a working truck's front end with the KYB Gas-a-just Shock Absorber (KG54102), a high-pressure monotube gas shock that installs as a direct-fit front replacement for the 1994-2001 Dodge Ram 1500 and the 1994-2002 Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the engine-level applications.
This KYB gas shock absorber uses a monotube design that separates the gas and oil into two working chambers, so it resists fade from aeration and responds quickly. Its higher nitrogen gas pressure is designed to sharpen steering response, while the components and valving are built specifically for Dodge trucks.
Signs a worn front shock may need replacing include excessive bounce, nose-dive under braking, and fluid seepage down the body. Shocks wear gradually, so replacing the front pair together supports even, balanced control. Sold individually.

What vehicles does the KYB KG54102 shock absorber fit?
It is a direct-fit front shock for the 1994-2001 Dodge Ram 1500 and the 1994-2002 Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your engine and configuration.
Is this a gas or hydraulic shock?
It is a KYB Gas-a-just high-pressure monotube gas shock absorber. It separates the nitrogen gas and oil into two chambers for fade-free operation and quick response.
How is the KYB gas shock absorber Excel-G different from Gas-a-just?
This part is the Gas-a-just monotube line, which adds up to 25% more damping over OE shocks and is valved specifically for Dodge trucks. The Excel-G series is a separate KYB shock line with a different design.
Should I replace both front shocks at once?
This shock is sold individually. Because shocks wear gradually, replacing the front pair together is recommended for even, balanced ride control.
What are signs my front shock needs replacing?
Common signs include excessive bouncing, nose-dive under braking, uneven tire wear, or fluid leaking down the shock body. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
