KYB 5550020 Suspension Shock Absorber - Front

KYB Gas-a-just Front Shock for Wrangler

The KYB Gas-a-just 5550020 is a front suspension shock absorber for 2018-2024 Jeep Wrangler models with a 2 inch to 3 inch lift. This monotube design uses separate hydraulic and gas chambers to deliver responsive damping for daily driving and added control when road conditions change.

Gas-a-just Performance Details

KYB Gas-a-just shocks are built around a monotube layout that separates the working fluid from the high-pressure nitrogen gas charge. That design helps maintain consistent damping without aeration-related fade, while the floating piston supports a controlled ride during normal use and quicker response when suspension demand increases. Part number 5550020 is sized with a compressed length of 17.05 inches, extended length of 26.77 inches, and 9.72 inches of stroke for the listed front application.

What This Shock Absorber Helps Address

• Front-end bounce after bumps or dips
• Excessive body movement on lifted suspension setups
• Reduced damping consistency from heat and aeration in worn shocks

• Loss of ride control on a Jeep Wrangler with a 2 inch to 3 inch lift

Installation Notes and Fitment

Fits 2018-2024 Jeep Wrangler, front, with 2 inch to 3 inch lift. Verify compressed length, extended length, and mount style against the vehicle’s suspension setup before installation. Part number 5550020 is intended for the front position only and should be matched to the listed lift range for proper suspension travel.
