Firm up the rear end of your Ford truck or van with the KYB Gas-a-just shock absorber (KG5421), a high-pressure monotube gas KYB shock absorber built for the rear axle. It drops in as a direct-fit rear replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1976-1979 Ford F-150, 1977-1979 Ford F-250 and 1975-1991 Ford E-250 Econoline — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

  • Monotube gas 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 — so it doesn't experience fade due to aeration.
  • Up to 25% more damping: adds up to 25% more damping performance over original equipment shocks, with components and valving designed specifically for Ford trucks.
  • Made for work and tow duty: the Gas-a-just monotube adds damping over the OE design for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
  • Triple chrome-plated rod: an ultra-smooth triple chrome plated piston rod reduces seal wear, and separating the gas and oil supports fade-free operation and instant response.

The higher gas pressure of the Gas-a-just responds quickly to help improve steering response, and KYB notes it helps keep electronic safety systems performing as the vehicle manufacturer intended. Sold individually.

Is the KG5421 a front or rear shock?

How much more damping does it provide?
