Firm up a hardworking GM truck's ride with the KYB Gas-a-just Suspension Shock Absorber KG5478, a high-pressure monotube gas shock that mounts in the FRONT position. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1988-1999 Chevrolet C1500, 1988-2000 Chevrolet C2500 and C3500, 1996-2002 Chevrolet Express 1500/2500/3500, 1995-2000 Chevrolet Tahoe, 1988-1999 GMC C1500, 1988-2000 GMC C2500 and C3500, 1996-2002 GMC Savana 1500/2500/3500, 1995-1999 GMC Yukon and more — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of applications.

  • High-pressure monotube design: separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response, with no aeration.
  • Triple chrome-plated piston rod: an ultra-smooth rod helps reduce seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.
  • Up to 25% more damping: adds damping over the original-equipment shock, with components and valving designed specifically for GM trucks that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
  • Supports Electronic Safety Systems: helps keep the suspension performing as designed so electronic safety systems operate as the vehicle manufacturer intended.

Higher gas pressure is designed to respond quickly and improve steering response. Sold individually; order two to replace both front shocks as a matched pair.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does the KG5478 shock mount?

It is cataloged for the FRONT position. Replace both front shocks together as a matched pair for balanced ride and handling.

What makes a monotube shock different from a twin-tube?

The high-pressure monotube design keeps the gas and oil separated in distinct chambers, giving fade-free operation and instant response without aeration.

Will this fit my truck or van?

It's a direct-fit replacement for the listed Chevrolet and GMC applications, including C/K trucks, Suburban, Tahoe, Yukon, Express and Savana. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for your year.

How does it help towing and heavy loads?

The Gas-a-just adds up to 25% more damping over OE, with valving designed specifically for GM trucks that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.

What are signs my shock may need replacing?

Excessive bounce, nose-dive under braking, poor ride control, or fluid leaking from the shock body can indicate a worn unit that may need replacement.
