KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:KG5782
Take command of your heavy-duty Ford's front suspension with the KYB Gas-a-just Suspension Shock Absorber KG5486, a high-pressure monotube gas shock that installs as a front-position replacement for the 1988-1997 Ford F-Super Duty. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment. Its monotube design separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response, so the damping stays consistent even when the truck is working hard.
The Gas-a-just uses two separate working chambers: an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for responsiveness and control, plus a high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston for a comfortable ride during normal driving and added performance on demand.

What vehicle does the KG5486 shock fit?
It is a front-position shock absorber for the 1988-1997 Ford F-Super Duty. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the exact application for your truck.
What type of shock is this?
It is a KYB Gas-a-just high-pressure monotube gas shock that separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response, unlike a traditional twin-tube design.
How does it help ride and control?
An air-free hydraulic piston and valve area provides responsiveness and control, while a high-pressure nitrogen gas chamber with a floating piston supports a comfortable ride and added damping on demand.
Is this shock suited to towing and hauling?
Yes. Its components and valving are designed for heavy-duty trucks, adding damping over OE for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
Should I replace shocks in pairs?
This listing is for one shock. Replacing both sides on an axle together is recommended for balanced, even damping.
