What is the KYB KG5477?
It is the KYB Gas-a-just high-pressure monotube gas shock absorber, offered as a direct-fit OE monotube replacement for the listed front applications.
Is this a front or rear shock?
This KG5477 is cataloged for the front position on the listed Chevrolet and GMC trucks and SUVs.
What makes this a gas shock absorber versus a standard one?
Its high-pressure monotube design separates the gas and oil into isolated chambers, using a floating piston and nitrogen charge for fade-free operation and instant response.
Does it offer more damping than the original shocks?
KYB states the Gas-a-just adds up to 25% more damping over original equipment shocks, with added capacity for trucks that work, tow, or run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
How many should I order for my truck?
Shocks are sold individually. Replacing both sides on an axle together as a matched pair is recommended for balanced ride control; confirm the quantity your vehicle uses.
