Smooth out a working truck's ride with the KYB Gas-a-just Shock Absorber (KG5435), a high-pressure monotube gas shock built for the front of the 1973-1974 GMC TransMode. If you've been shopping for a KYB shock absorber to replace tired, fading front dampers, this monotube unit drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the listed application.

  • High-pressure monotube design: separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response, with an air-free hydraulic piston/valve area for control and a high-pressure nitrogen chamber with a floating piston for ride comfort.
  • Extra damping: adds up to 25% more damping performance over original-equipment shocks, with components and valving designed specifically for Heavy Duty trucks that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
  • Triple chrome-plated piston rod: an ultra-smooth rod helps reduce seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.
  • Quick steering response: the higher gas pressure responds quickly to help improve steering response, and helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed.

A KYB gas shock absorber like this is a fitting upgrade for a truck that hauls and tows. Front shocks work as a pair, so replace both sides together for balanced damping.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does the KG5435 shock mount?

It is a front-position shock absorber for the 1973-1974 GMC TransMode. Front shocks work in pairs, so it's best to replace both sides together for balanced damping.

What vehicle does this KYB shock fit?

It is a direct-fit replacement for the front of the 1973-1974 GMC TransMode. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm fitment for your vehicle.

What is a monotube gas shock?

This KYB gas shock absorber uses a high-pressure monotube design that separates the gas and oil into separate chambers for fade-free operation and instant response, unlike a traditional twin-tube.

Does it offer more damping than the OE shock?

KYB states the Gas-a-just adds up to 25% more damping performance over original-equipment shocks, with valving designed for Heavy Duty trucks that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.

Is this shock sold individually or as a pair?

This listing is for one shock absorber. Since front shocks operate as a pair, replacing both sides together is recommended for even, balanced damping.
