KYB Gas-A-Just Shocks and Struts

1997–2004 Dodge Dakota / 1999–2003 Dodge Durango

KG5458

Overview:

The KYB Gas-A-Just Shocks KG5458 are high-performance front shocks designed specifically for the Dodge Dakota (1997–2004) and Dodge Durango (1999–2003). These monotube shocks utilize high-pressure nitrogen gas to deliver superior handling, improved stability, and enhanced road control. Ideal for drivers seeking a firmer, more responsive ride, the Gas-A-Just shocks offer a significant upgrade over traditional twin-tube designs, making them perfect for muscle trucks, SUVs, and utility vehicles that demand reliable suspension performance.

Engineered to provide consistent damping and quick response to changing road conditions, these shocks improve vehicle control during cornering, reduce body roll, and enhance overall driving confidence. Whether you’re navigating daily commutes or spirited drives, the KG5458 shocks help maintain optimal tire contact and suspension performance.

Key Features:

The KYB Gas-A-Just KG5458 shocks incorporate advanced technology and durable construction to ensure long-lasting performance and reliability:

• High-Pressure Nitrogen Gas Design: Eliminates aeration and foaming for consistent damping and quicker shock response.
• Monotube Construction: Provides superior heat dissipation and improved shock performance compared to twin-tube shocks.
• Increased Damping Force: Automatically adjusts to road conditions, enhancing control and stability in demanding driving scenarios.
• Seamless Working Cylinder: Made from a single piece of steel to reduce leaks and increase durability.
• Triple-Chrome Plated Piston Rod: Offers enhanced strength and corrosion resistance for extended shock life.
• Heavy-Duty Build: Designed to withstand rigorous use, suitable for both performance and utility applications.
• Precise Fitment: Engineered specifically for the front suspension of Dodge Dakota and Durango models within the specified years.

Construction & Design:

The KYB Gas-A-Just shocks feature a robust monotube design that separates the gas and oil chambers with a floating piston, ensuring consistent damping without aeration. The high-pressure nitrogen gas pressurizes the shock fluid, preventing foaming and maintaining smooth operation even under heavy loads or aggressive driving. The seamless steel cylinder enhances structural integrity and reduces the risk of leaks, while the triple-chrome plated piston rod resists corrosion and wear, extending the service life of the shock.

Built with heavy-duty materials, these shocks are engineered to endure the stresses of off-road driving, towing, and daily use, providing reliable performance and improved ride quality over the life of the vehicle.
