Take control of body motion on your GM truck, van, or SUV with the KYB Gas-a-just, a high-pressure monotube KYB shock absorber (KG5478) built for the FRONT position. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1988-1999 Chevrolet C1500, 1995-2000 Chevrolet Tahoe and 1995-1999 GMC Yukon — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list. This KYB gas shock absorber runs a monotube design that keeps the gas and oil separated for fade-free operation and instant response, and it drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.

  • Monotube gas design: separates the high-pressure nitrogen gas from the oil for fade-free operation and quick response, avoiding the aeration that can fade a traditional twin-tube.
  • Two working chambers: an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for responsiveness and control, plus a high-pressure nitrogen chamber with a floating piston.
  • Triple chrome-plated piston rod: an ultra-smooth rod reduces seal wear — fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.
  • Extra damping: adds up to 25% more damping over original-equipment shocks, with components and valving designed specifically for GM trucks that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.

The higher gas pressure responds quickly to help improve steering response and helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the KYB Gas-a-just KG5478?

It's a high-pressure monotube gas shock absorber for the FRONT position. The monotube design separates the nitrogen gas from the oil for fade-free operation and instant response.

Which vehicles does this front shock fit?

It's a direct-fit front shock for many GM vehicles, including the 1988-1999 Chevrolet C1500, 1995-2000 Chevrolet Tahoe and 1995-1999 GMC Yukon. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for the full application list.

How does the monotube gas design help?

Keeping the high-pressure nitrogen gas separated from the oil prevents aeration, so the shock resists fade and responds quickly compared with a traditional twin-tube design.

Is this shock a good choice for trucks that tow or run bigger tires?

It's designed for that use: the Gas-a-just adds up to 25% more damping over OE shocks, with components and valving designed specifically for GM trucks that work, tow, and use larger, heavier tires and wheels.

Is the KG5478 sold individually?

This listing is for one front shock. Replacing both front shocks together as a matched pair is recommended for balanced, even ride control.
