KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:KG5454

$67.99

Description

Fit your truck with the KYB Gas-a-just monotube shock absorber (P/N KG5454), a high-pressure gas shock absorber built for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels. This rear-position unit installs as a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1983-1989 Ford Ranger, 1985-1999 Chevrolet P30 and 1985-1999 GMC P3500 — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full fitment.

The Gas-a-just uses a high-pressure monotube design that separates the gas and oil to resist fade and deliver instant response, unlike a traditional twin-tube shock. Its two working chambers — an air-free hydraulic piston/valve area and a high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston — are designed to adjust to changing demands.

Adds up to 25% more damping over original-equipment shocks.
Heavy-duty valving: components and valving designed specifically for heavy-duty trucks, adding damping over the OE design.
Fade-free operation: high-pressure monotube design separates gas and oil for instant response.
Triple chrome-plated rod: an ultra-smooth chrome piston rod helps reduce seal wear, since leaking fluid can cause shock failure.

The higher gas pressure is designed to respond quickly and help improve steering response.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this KYB gas shock absorber a direct fit for my vehicle?

It installs as a direct-fit rear replacement for the listed applications, including the 1983-1989 Ford Ranger, 1985-1999 Chevrolet P30 and 1985-1999 GMC P3500. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm your exact vehicle.

What position does this KYB shock absorber mount in?

This KG5454 unit is cataloged as a rear-position shock absorber for the listed applications.

How is the KYB Gas-a-just different from a twin-tube shock?

Its high-pressure monotube design separates the gas and oil into two working chambers, which resists fade from aeration and is designed for instant response.

Why does the triple chrome-plated piston rod matter?

The ultra-smooth triple chrome-plated piston rod is designed to reduce seal wear, since leaking fluid can be a cause of shock failure.

How many should I order, and does it help with towing?

Shocks are best replaced as an axle pair for balanced ride. The Gas-a-just adds damping over the OE design for trucks that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
