This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What vehicles does the KYB shock absorber KG54315 fit?
It is a direct-fit FRONT replacement for the 1994-2001 Dodge Ram 1500 and 1994-2002 Dodge Ram 2500. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the engine application for your truck.
What is the difference between this Gas-a-just and a twin-tube shock?
This is a high-pressure monotube gas shock with two separate chambers that separate the gas and oil, so it does not experience fade due to aeration and offers instant response versus a traditional twin-tube design.
Is this a KYB gas shock absorber Excel G unit?
No. KG54315 is a KYB Gas-a-just high-pressure monotube gas shock, which is a different line than Excel G. It uses a monotube design with a high-pressure nitrogen chamber.
Does it add more damping than a stock shock?
KYB states the Gas-a-just adds up to 25% more damping performance over original equipment shocks, with extra damping for trucks that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
Do I need to replace both front shocks at the same time?
Shocks are sold individually, so this listing is for one. Replacing both shocks on an axle as a matched pair is recommended for balanced, even handling.
