Construction & Design:

The KYB Gas-A-Just shocks feature a robust monotube design constructed from high-quality steel. The seamless working cylinder is precision-engineered from a single piece of steel to minimize leaks and improve durability. The piston rod is triple-chrome plated to resist corrosion and wear, ensuring long-term reliability even in harsh conditions. The use of high-pressure nitrogen gas within the shock eliminates aeration, maintaining consistent damping performance and quick response to road irregularities.

This heavy-duty construction makes the KG5784 shocks well-suited for trucks like the Dodge Ram 1500, which often face demanding driving environments and loads.

Performance & Sound

By replacing the factory twin-tube shocks with KYB Gas-A-Just monotube shocks, drivers will experience a firmer, more controlled ride with reduced body roll and sway. This translates to improved cornering stability and enhanced road feedback. The monotube design also contributes to smoother operation and quicker shock response, which helps maintain tire contact with the road for better traction and handling. While these shocks do not alter engine or exhaust sound, they significantly improve driving confidence and vehicle dynamics.
