About the KYB Gas-a-just Product Line

The Gas-a-just line from KYB focuses on gas-charged shock absorbers designed to improve vehicle stability and ride comfort. This product line uses pressurized nitrogen gas to reduce foaming and maintain consistent damping performance. The 554360 shock absorber is part of this line, offering a balance of durability and responsiveness for Dodge Ram 3500 trucks.

Detailed Product Description

The KYB Gas-a-just 554360 shock absorber features a compressed length of 17.28 inches and an extended length of 27.44 inches, providing a stroke length of 10.16 inches. Both the upper and lower mounts use the E2 (14.6x42) design, ensuring proper fitment and secure installation on Dodge Ram 3500 models. The inclusion of a dust cover helps protect internal components from dirt and debris, extending the service life of the shock. The R-stop feature limits rebound travel to prevent damage during operation, while the absence of an internal rebound spring and B-stop indicates a design focused on consistent damping without additional spring assistance.
