Product Details

KYB MonoMax is the brand’s heavy-duty shock line for truck and SUV use, and part number 565047 follows that focus with a large-bore monotube construction that helps maintain control when the vehicle is loaded or driven off-road. The shock’s 14.88-inch compressed length, 23.35-inch extended length, and 8.46-inch stroke support the rear suspension geometry used across many Chevrolet and GMC compact truck and SUV platforms. This part cross-references Gabriel 77422 for the same application.

Common Uses

• Rear-end bounce or instability on loaded Chevrolet S10 and GMC Sonoma trucks
• Reduced control during towing or hauling

• Worn rear shock performance on off-road or rough-surface driving
• Need for a monotube upgrade on rear suspension service

Installation Notes

Verify rear suspension configuration, including standard suspension and listed package exclusions such as ZR2 or HighRider notes, before ordering. Match the lower mount type E2(14.6X41) and upper mount type E3(61.6X87X30) to the vehicle’s original shock mounting points. Confirm compressed and extended length requirements during installation to ensure proper suspension travel and clearance.
