KYB MonoMax Front Shock Absorber

KYB MonoMax 565073 is a heavy-duty front suspension shock absorber built for trucks and SUVs that carry weight, tow, or see rough pavement. It is a fitment-based upgrade for lifted GM applications, including Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon, and Cadillac Escalade front suspension setups with 1-3 inches of lift.

MonoMax Performance Line

The KYB MonoMax line is engineered for truck use, with a monotube design that responds consistently as driving conditions change. For lifted Chevrolet K1500 and GMC K2500 applications, this product line focuses on added control, stable handling, and durability under load.

Key Features

  • Heavy-duty monotube shock absorber for front suspension use
  • Up to 40% more damping performance than standard shock absorbers
  • Built for lifted GM trucks and SUVs with 1-3 inches of lift
  • Zinc-coated stainless steel piston ring for sealing in demanding conditions
  • Rubber dust boot helps protect the shaft and seal area from dirt and debris
  • Engineered to work with vehicles equipped with electronic safety systems such as ESC and ABS
  • KYB part number 565073 for direct catalog identification

Detailed Description

KYB 565073 is a front suspension shock absorber from the MonoMax line, sized with a compressed length of 12.8 inches, an extended length of 18.58 inches, and a 5.79-inch stroke. It uses E2 lower and upper mounts and is built for front-position applications on lifted Chevrolet and GMC trucks and SUVs. This shock is a practical choice for drivers who need firmer control on a lifted Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon, or Cadillac Escalade, as well as K1500, K2500, and K3500 platform vehicles used for towing, hauling, or off-road driving.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

  • Excessive front-end bounce on lifted GM trucks and SUVs
  • Reduced control when towing or hauling heavy loads
  • Shock fade during repeated rough-road use
  • Premature wear from dirt and debris around the shaft seal
  • Loose or unsettled handling after a 1-3 inch suspension lift

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With front suspension applications only. Verify compressed length, extended length, stroke, and E2 mount style before installation, especially on lifted vehicles. Confirm that your Chevrolet, GMC, or Cadillac application matches the listed front fitment and lift range. Part number 565073 is commonly searched for lifted GM truck front shock replacement, so matching the vehicle year, model, and suspension height is important before ordering.
