What is the KYB Gas-a-just KG5456?
It's a High Pressure Monotube Gas shock absorber offered as an OE monotube replacement, using an air-free hydraulic chamber plus a high-pressure nitrogen gas chamber with a floating piston.
Does this KYB gas shock absorber fit my truck?
It's cataloged as a front shock for the 1980-1986 Ford F-250 and 1980-1985 Ford F-350. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm fitment for your specific vehicle.
How does the monotube design help?
The high-pressure monotube separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response, and the higher gas pressure responds quickly to help improve steering response.
Is this shock good for towing and heavy loads?
Yes. Its components and valving are designed specifically for Ford trucks and add up to 25% more damping over OE for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
What position does the KYB shock absorber install in?
This KG5456 is a front-position shock. For balanced handling, it's good practice to replace shocks in pairs across the axle.
