Product Details

KYB MonoMax part number 565037 is part of the MonoMax line, which focuses on heavy-duty suspension control for vehicles that tow, haul, or see rough-road use. The monotube construction helps maintain fade-resistant performance as suspension demands increase, while the work-ready piston ring and dust boot support long-term service in harsh environments. This rear shock absorber is listed for a wide range of classic Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, and Jeep applications, including rear suspension upgrades for 1965-1969 Ford F-100, 1967-1977 Ford Bronco, and 1969-1972 Chevrolet Blazer models.

This part cross-references Gabriel 77377 for the same application.

Used For

• Rear suspension control on vehicles used for towing or hauling
• Reducing excessive bounce after load changes
• Improving stability on rough roads and off-road surfaces
• Replacing worn rear shocks on classic trucks and SUVs
• Supporting suspension performance on lowered or heavy-duty rear setups

Installation Notes

Verify rear fitment by year, make, model, and suspension configuration before installation. This KYB MonoMax 565037 uses E2 (16x32) upper and lower mounts, so the existing mounting style must match the vehicle application. Confirm compressed length, extended length, and stroke length against the original shock to ensure proper travel and clearance.
