- Large-bore monotube design: a heavy-duty monotube that adds stability for heavier, more powerful, or high-center-of-gravity vehicles that tow, haul, or go off-road.
- Up to 40% more damping: delivers up to 40% more damping performance than standard shock absorbers for a firmer, more controlled ride.
- Zinc-coated stainless steel piston ring: provides a positive seal in the most extreme conditions.
- Off-road dust boot: a rubber boot protects the shaft and helps keep dirt and debris away from the seals.
Engineered to help vehicles equipped with electronic safety systems such as ESC and ABS. KYB recommends pairing with a strut boot (SB129) and new strut mounts (SM5530).
