KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:KG5538
Bring firm, fade-resistant damping back to your truck's front end with the KYB Gas-a-just KYB shock absorber KG54103, a high-pressure monotube gas front shock. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1994-2010 Dodge Ram 2500 and 1994-2010 Dodge Ram 3500, plus the 2011-2013 Ram 2500 and 2011-2012 Ram 3500 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for full engine coverage.
The higher gas pressure of this KYB gas shock absorber is designed to respond quickly and support steering response, and KYB notes it helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed. If a worn or leaking front shock is causing poor ride control on your Ram, this is the mechanical replacement.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What is the KYB Gas-a-just KG54103?
It is a high-pressure monotube gas front shock absorber that separates the nitrogen gas and hydraulic oil into dedicated chambers for fade-free damping and quick response.
Which vehicles does this KYB shock absorber fit?
It fits the 1994-2010 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500, the 2011-2013 Ram 2500, and the 2011-2012 Ram 3500. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for full engine coverage.
Is this a front or rear shock?
The catalog lists KG54103 as a front position shock absorber for the listed applications.
How does the monotube design differ from a twin-tube shock?
The monotube design keeps the high-pressure nitrogen gas and hydraulic oil in separate chambers, which resists aeration and helps deliver fade-free operation and instant response.
Do I need to buy two, and does the KYB shock absorber price cover both sides?
This listing is for one shock, sold individually. For balanced ride control it is best practice to replace the shocks on an axle as a matched pair.
