Firm up load-carrying stability and smooth out the ride with the KYB Gas-a-just Suspension Shock Absorber KG54322, a high-pressure monotube gas shock that installs as a direct-fit rear replacement for the 1997-2004 Dodge Dakota and 1998-2003 Dodge Durango (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment). Its components and valving are designed specifically for Dodge trucks, adding extra damping over the OE design for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.

  • Monotube gas design: Separates the high-pressure nitrogen gas from the oil for fade-free operation and instant response.
  • Two working chambers: An air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for responsiveness and control, plus a high-pressure nitrogen area with a floating piston for a comfortable ride during normal driving.
  • Up to 25% more damping: Delivers more damping performance than original-equipment shocks, and the higher gas pressure responds quickly to improve steering response.
  • Triple chrome-plated piston rod: An ultra-smooth rod helps reduce seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.

KYB Gas-a-just also helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed, since those systems depend on the suspension, brakes, and tires operating as the vehicle manufacturer intended. Sold individually; replacing both rear shocks together is recommended for balanced ride control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which vehicles does the KYB KG54322 fit?

It's a direct-fit rear shock for the 1997-2004 Dodge Dakota and 1998-2003 Dodge Durango. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment before ordering.

Is this a front or rear shock?

The KG54322 is a rear-position shock absorber. Replacing both rear shocks together is recommended for balanced, even ride control.

What makes the Gas-a-just monotube different from a twin-tube shock?

Its high-pressure monotube design separates the nitrogen gas from the oil for fade-free operation and instant response, using an air-free hydraulic chamber plus a gas chamber with a floating piston.

Does this shock add damping over stock?

Yes. KYB states it adds up to 25% more damping performance than original-equipment shocks, with valving designed specifically for Dodge trucks that work, tow, or run larger, heavier tires and wheels.

What are signs a shock absorber may need replacing?

Excessive bouncing, a harsh or unstable ride, uneven tire wear, or fluid leaking from the shock body. Diagnose the cause first, since these signs can have other sources.
