What is the KYB Gas-a-just KG5434?
It is a high-pressure monotube gas shock absorber that separates the nitrogen gas and hydraulic oil in two chambers for fade-free operation and instant response.
Which vehicles does this KYB gas shock absorber fit?
It is a rear direct-fit for the 1979-1981 Dodge D50, 1979-1981 Plymouth Arrow Pickup, 1982-1983 Toyota Pickup, and 1993-1998 Toyota T100. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for engine detail.
How does the monotube design differ from a twin-tube shock?
The high-pressure monotube keeps the gas and oil separated so it resists fade from aeration and responds quickly, whereas a twin-tube design can aerate under hard use.
Does this shock offer more damping than a stock unit?
KYB states the Gas-a-just adds up to 25% more damping over original equipment shocks, with components and valving designed specifically for trucks that work, tow, and run larger tires.
Should I replace both rear shocks at once?
Replacing rear shocks as a matched pair is recommended for even, balanced damping. This listing is for one shock; order two if you are replacing both sides.
