KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:SA1016
Firm up the front end of your work truck with the KYB shock absorber KG5785, a high-pressure monotube gas unit that drops in as a direct-fit front replacement for the 2002-2008 Dodge Ram 1500. This is a Gas-a-just monotube, engineered with components and valving designed specifically for Dodge trucks so it handles vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
Unlike a traditional twin-tube, the monotube keeps two separate working chambers — an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for responsiveness and control, and a high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston for a comfortable ride during normal driving with performance on demand.
The higher gas pressure responds quickly to help improve steering response. As a KYB gas shock absorber, this is a per-corner unit — replace both fronts as a matched pair for balanced ride control.

Will this KYB shock absorber fit my truck?
KG5785 is a direct-fit front shock for the 2002-2008 Dodge Ram 1500. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm the exact application for your vehicle.
What is the difference between this monotube and an excel g shock absorber?
This is a Gas-a-just high-pressure monotube. It separates the gas and oil in a single tube for fade-free operation and instant response, versus a traditional twin-tube design.
How does this KYB gas shock absorber improve steering?
The higher internal gas pressure responds quickly, which is designed to help improve steering response during driving.

No. This listing is for one shock. It is best practice to replace both front units together as a matched pair for balanced, even ride control.
What are signs this front shock may need replacing?
Common signs include excessive bouncing, a harsh or unstable ride, and fluid leaking from the shock body. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
