Keep your Dodge truck's front suspension controlled under load with the KYB Gas-a-just Shock Absorber KG5422, a high-pressure monotube gas shock. This KYB shock absorber installs in the FRONT position and is a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of Dodge and Plymouth trucks, including the 1974-1993 Dodge Ramcharger, 1977-1993 Dodge W150, 1981-1993 Dodge W250, 1981-1993 Dodge W350, and the 1974-1981 Plymouth Trailduster — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of applications.

How it works: The Gas-a-just monotube separates the oil and high-pressure nitrogen gas into two working chambers — an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for responsiveness, plus a high-pressure gas area with a floating piston. Separating gas and oil is designed to resist fade from aeration for consistent damping.

  • Built for Dodge trucks: components and valving designed specifically for Dodge trucks, with added damping over OE design for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
  • Adds up to 25% more damping performance over original equipment shocks.
  • Triple chrome-plated piston rod: an ultra-smooth chrome piston rod helps reduce seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.
  • Higher gas pressure responds quickly, designed to improve steering response and help keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as intended.
