Help keep the rear of your hard-working truck under control with the KYB shock absorber KG5415, a high-pressure monotube gas shock from KYB's Gas-a-Just line, with components and valving designed specifically for GM trucks. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1987-1991 Chevrolet Blazer, 1989-1991 Chevrolet R1500 Suburban and 1989-1991 Chevrolet R2500 Suburban, as a direct-fit rear shock for the listed applications.

This KYB gas shock absorber is designed to adjust automatically to your performance needs. Its floating-piston gas chamber provides a comfortable ride during normal driving and adds performance on demand. Signs a rear shock may need replacing include fluid on the shock body, excessive bouncing after bumps, and a floaty or unsettled rear end. Replacing both rear shocks together is recommended for even damping from side to side.

What does the KYB Gas-a-Just shock absorber do?

Yes, it is listed as a rear shock for the 1987-1991 Chevrolet Blazer, the 1989-1991 Chevrolet R1500 Suburban and the 1989-1991 Chevrolet R2500 Suburban. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for every listed application.

KYB states the Gas-a-Just adds up to 25% more damping performance over original equipment shocks. It is intended for vehicles that work, tow, or run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
What are signs a rear shock absorber may need replacing?
Common signs include fluid leaking from the shock body, excessive bouncing after bumps, and a floaty or unsettled rear end. Inspect the suspension to confirm the cause before replacing parts.
Should rear shocks be replaced in pairs?
