Firm up the front end of your truck with the KYB Gas-a-just Suspension Shock Absorber KG5785, a high-pressure monotube gas shock that installs as a direct-fit front replacement for the 2002-2008 Dodge Ram 1500. Its components and valving are designed specifically for Dodge trucks, adding damping over the OE design for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.

  • Monotube gas design: Two separate working chambers — an air-free hydraulic piston/valve area for responsiveness and control, plus a high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston that separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response.
  • More damping: Adds up to 25% more damping performance over original equipment shocks.
  • Triple chrome-plated piston rod: Fluid leaking can cause shock failure, so the ultra-smooth triple-chrome-plated rod is designed to reduce seal wear.
  • Supports vehicle systems: Helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed, since they depend on the suspension, brakes and tires operating as intended.

The higher gas pressure responds quickly to help improve steering response. Sold individually; replacing shocks in axle pairs is recommended for balanced ride and handling.

What vehicle does the KG5785 fit?

It is a direct-fit front shock absorber for the 2002-2008 Dodge Ram 1500. Confirm fitment for your vehicle in the Buyer's Guide tab.

Is this a monotube or twin-tube shock?

It is a high-pressure monotube gas design. It uses separate hydraulic and high-pressure nitrogen chambers that keep gas and oil apart for fade-free operation and instant response.

How much damping does it add?

KYB states the Gas-a-just adds up to 25% more damping performance over original equipment shocks, with valving designed specifically for Dodge trucks.

Why does it have a chrome-plated piston rod?

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

Do I need to replace both front shocks?

This shock is sold individually. Replacing shocks in axle pairs is recommended so both sides deliver balanced ride quality and handling.
