KYB 3440019 Shock Absorber - Front

KYB Excel-G Front Shock for Ram 2500/3500

The KYB Excel-G 3440019 is a front suspension shock absorber built to restore original ride control, stability, stopping response, lane-change behavior, and handling. It is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design made on KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components for Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 applications.

KYB Excel-G is the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) line, engineered to return the vehicle to its designed damping characteristics rather than alter them. For Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 front suspension service, KYB 3440019 is a direct OE-style replacement choice for technicians and owners focused on factory-correct control.

Detailed Description

The KYB Excel-G 3440019 is designed for front suspension replacement on 2020-2025 Ram 2500, 2014-2019 Ram 2500, and 2013-2018 Ram 3500 applications. It uses a twin-tube, nitrogen gas-charged design with OE-calibrated damping to preserve the vehicle’s original ride characteristics. This part number is built to match the factory intent of the suspension system, making it a practical choice when replacing a worn front shock on a Ram 2500 or Ram 3500.

Excel-G is KYB’s OE-style product line for drivers who want factory-correct response from the suspension. The KYB 3440019 is assembled with quality components used in KYB global OEM production and is cross-referenced to Monroe Shocks & Struts part numbers 34534 and 34813 for the same application.
