Restore controlled, confident damping to your GM truck's rear axle with the KYB shock absorber KG5479, a High Pressure Monotube Gas Shock from the Gas-a-just line. It installs as a rear direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, including the 1999-2000 Cadillac Escalade, 1988-1999 Chevrolet C1500 and K1500, 1995-1999 Chevrolet Tahoe, and 1992-1997 GMC Yukon — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of Chevrolet and GMC C/K 1500-3500, C3500HD, and Blazer applications.

  • Monotube gas design: two separate working chambers — an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for responsiveness, plus a high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston — so it never experiences fade due to aeration.
  • Triple chrome plated piston rod: an ultra-smooth rod helps reduce seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.
  • Higher gas pressure: the Gas-a-just's higher gas pressure is designed to improve steering response, and adds up to 25% more damping performance over original equipment shocks.
  • Built for GM trucks: components and valving designed specifically for GM trucks, with additional damping over OE for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.

The high-pressure monotube design separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed. Sold individually; replace the rear pair together for balanced ride control.

Frequently Asked Questions

What vehicles does the KYB gas shock absorber KG5479 fit?

It's a rear-position fit for GM trucks and SUVs such as the 1999-2000 Cadillac Escalade, 1988-1999 Chevrolet C1500/K1500, 1995-1999 Tahoe, and 1992-1997 GMC Yukon. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the complete list.

Is this a monotube or twin-tube shock?

It's a High Pressure Monotube Gas Shock. The design uses two separate working chambers and separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response.

What position does the KG5479 mount in?

This shock is cataloged for the rear position on the listed applications. Confirm the fitment for your specific vehicle in the Buyer's Guide tab.

How does the triple chrome plated piston rod help?

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

Do I need to replace both rear shocks and does the KYB shock absorber price cover one or two?

This shock is sold individually. For balanced, even ride control it's best practice to replace the rear pair together rather than a single side.
