KYB Gas-A-Just Shocks and Struts (REAR)
1994–2002 Dodge Ram 2500 / Dodge Ram 3500
KG54306
Overview:
The KYB Gas-A-Just Shocks KG54306 are high-performance rear shocks designed specifically for the 1994–2002 Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 models. These shocks utilize a high-pressure monotube design to deliver superior handling, improved stability, and enhanced ride quality compared to traditional twin-tube shocks. Ideal for drivers who demand a firmer, more responsive suspension, the Gas-A-Just shocks provide consistent damping performance across a variety of road conditions, making them a perfect upgrade for both daily driving and heavy-duty applications.
Whether you’re looking to restore your truck’s original handling or improve its performance for towing, hauling, or off-road use, the KG54306 shocks offer a durable and reliable solution that enhances control and reduces body roll. These shocks are engineered to extend the life of your suspension system while delivering a smooth, controlled ride.
Key Features:
The KYB Gas-A-Just KG54306 shocks incorporate advanced technology and robust construction to ensure long-lasting performance and improved vehicle dynamics:

Construction & Design:
The KG54306 shocks feature a robust monotube design filled with high-pressure nitrogen gas, which prevents the formation of air bubbles inside the shock fluid. This design ensures consistent damping performance and rapid response to road irregularities. The seamless steel cylinder construction minimizes the risk of leaks and enhances the overall strength of the shock absorber.
The piston rod is triple-chrome plated, providing superior resistance to corrosion and wear, which is essential for maintaining smooth operation over time. This heavy-duty construction makes the Gas-A-Just shocks well-suited for the demanding conditions often encountered by Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 owners, including towing, hauling, and off-road driving.
Installation & Fitment:
The KYB Gas-A-Just KG54306 shocks are designed as direct replacements for the rear shocks on 1994–2002 Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 trucks. Installation is straightforward and requires no modifications, making it a convenient upgrade for DIY enthusiasts and professional mechanics alike. These shocks fit the original mounting points with E2 (14.6x42) upper and lower mounts, ensuring a secure and precise fit.
For optimal performance, it is recommended to replace shocks in pairs to maintain balanced handling and stability. Always consult your vehicle’s service manual or a professional technician for proper installation procedures.
