Keep front-end damping composed and fade-free with the KYB Gas-a-just Suspension Shock Absorber KG5435, a high-pressure monotube gas shock that drops in as a front-position replacement for the 1973-1974 GMC Transmode. Its monotube design separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response, so the shock resists aeration even during hard, repeated cycles.

  • Monotube gas design: An air-free hydraulic piston and valve area handles responsiveness and control, while a separate high-pressure nitrogen chamber with a floating piston supports a comfortable ride and adds damping on demand.
  • Up to 25% more damping: Adds up to 25% more damping performance over original-equipment shocks, with components and valving designed specifically for Heavy Duty trucks.
  • Built to work: Includes additional damping over the OE design for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
  • Triple chrome-plated rod: An ultra-smooth triple chrome-plated piston rod helps reduce seal wear, and the higher gas pressure responds quickly to improve steering response.

KYB notes the Gas-a-just also helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed, since those systems depend on the suspension, brakes, and tires operating as the vehicle manufacturer intended.

Frequently Asked Questions

What vehicle does the KG5435 fit?

It is a front-position shock listed for the 1973-1974 GMC Transmode. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the fit for your vehicle.

What type of shock is this?

It's a KYB Gas-a-just high-pressure monotube gas shock that separates the gas and oil in a single tube for fade-free operation and instant response.

How is a monotube different from a twin-tube shock?

The monotube uses an air-free hydraulic piston plus a separate high-pressure nitrogen chamber with a floating piston, which helps it resist fade from aeration.

Does this shock add damping over the original equipment?

KYB states the Gas-a-just adds up to 25% more damping performance over OE shocks, with valving designed for Heavy Duty trucks.

What is the triple chrome-plated rod for?

Fluid leaking can cause shock failure, so the ultra-smooth triple chrome-plated piston rod is designed to reduce seal wear.
