Construction & Design:

The KYB Excel-G shocks are engineered with a focus on durability and precision. The twin-tube design is nitrogen gas-charged to prevent foaming and maintain consistent damping performance throughout the shock’s life. The triple chrome-plated piston rod resists corrosion and wear, while the sintered iron rod guide ensures smooth, aligned movement. Seamless steel tubing eliminates fluid bypass, which can degrade shock performance over time. Together, these design elements provide a robust, long-lasting shock absorber that maintains your Ram 2500’s factory handling characteristics.
