Product Line Details

KYB MonoMax is the brand’s heavy-duty shock line for trucks and SUVs that need firmer control than a standard replacement shock. The 565036 uses a monotube layout to support vehicles with higher center of gravity, added cargo weight, trailer towing, and off-road use. This part number is a direct fit for rear suspension applications on many Chevrolet and GMC models, including Chevrolet Blazer, GMC Jimmy, and Suburban variants.

This part cross-references Gabriel 77349 for the same application.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify compressed length, extended length, and mount style before installation. This KYB 565036 uses an E2 lower mount and E1 upper mount, with a dust cover included and no internal rebound spring. Confirm rear suspension clearance on lifted, lowered, or modified GM truck and SUV setups before final assembly.

Quality Assurance

KYB builds the MonoMax line as a heavy-duty monotube shock absorber for demanding truck use. The zinc-coated piston ring and protective dust boot support durability in harsh road, towing, and off-road conditions.
