Keep every truck-duty accessory of your suspension planted and controlled with the KYB Gas-a-Just Suspension Shock Absorber KG5438, a high-pressure monotube gas shock. It fits the front or rear position (depending on application) on the 1980-1982 Chevrolet LUV, 1982 Dodge D50, 1983-1986 Dodge Power Ram 50, 1987-1993 Dodge Ram 50, 1961-1967 Ford Econoline, 1983-1994 Mitsubishi Mighty Max, 1982-1986 Nissan 720, 1987-1995 Nissan Pathfinder, 1979-1983 and 1985-1995 Toyota Pickup, and 1993 and 1995 Toyota T100 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.

  • Monotube gas design: Separates the nitrogen gas and oil to help resist aeration for fade-free operation and instant response.
  • Two working chambers: An air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for control, plus a high-pressure nitrogen area with a floating piston for ride comfort.
  • Built for trucks: Components and valving designed specifically for trucks, adding up to 25% more damping over OE for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
  • Triple chrome-plated rod: An ultra-smooth chrome piston rod helps reduce seal wear, since fluid leaking can cause shock failure.

KYB notes the Gas-a-Just also helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as the vehicle manufacturer intended.
