Product Details

KYB MonoMax is the brand’s truck-focused shock line, built for heavier-duty use where added control matters. The KYB MonoMax 565081 uses a monotube layout that responds consistently under load and during repeated suspension movement, which is important for lifted Ford trucks and older Bronco rear suspension setups. This part number is a direct fit for select 2003-2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty front lift replacement applications with 1-3 inches of lift, 1999-2004 Ford F-350 Super Duty front lift replacement applications with 1-3 inches of lift, and 1984-1996 Ford Bronco rear lift replacement applications with 2-3 inches of lift. This part cross-references Gabriel 77810 for the same application.

Common Problems It Helps Address

  • Excessive body motion after adding a suspension lift
  • Reduced control when towing or hauling heavy loads
  • Shock fade during repeated off-road or rough-road driving
  • Premature wear from dirt and debris reaching the shaft seals
  • Loose or unsettled ride feel on lifted Ford truck applications

Installation Notes and Tips

  • Verify lift height before ordering; this part is listed for 1-3 inch front lift applications on the Ford F-250 Super Duty and Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2-3 inch rear lift applications on the Ford Bronco.
  • Confirm upper and lower mount types match the vehicle’s suspension configuration before installation.
  • Inspect related suspension components such as bushings, mounts, and hardware condition before replacing shocks.
  • After installation, check ride height, suspension travel, and clearance at full compression and extension.

Quality Assurance

KYB manufactures the MonoMax line for demanding truck use, with a focus on control, durability, and consistent damping performance. The zinc-coated piston ring and included dust boot support long-term service in harsh driving conditions.
