Keep your GM van's rear end planted with the KYB Gas-a-just Suspension Shock Absorber KG5488, a high-pressure monotube gas shock offered as an OE monotube replacement to help restore your vehicle's original ride and control. It fits the rear position on the 1978-1995 Chevrolet G30, 1978 GMC G35, and 1979-1995 GMC G3500 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.

  • Twin working chambers: an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for responsiveness and control, plus a high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston for a comfortable ride during normal driving and added performance on demand.
  • Triple chrome-plated piston rod: an ultra-smooth rod that reduces seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.
  • Higher gas pressure: designed to respond quickly to improve steering response and to help keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed.
  • Built for GM trucks: components and valving designed specifically for GM trucks, adding up to 25% more damping performance over original-equipment shocks for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.

The high-pressure monotube design separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response. Sold individually; replace both rear shocks as a matched pair for balanced handling.
