KYB Gas-a-Just Rear Shock for Ford Super Duty
The KYB Gas-a-just KG5044 is a monotube rear shock absorber built for 2003-2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty and 2003-2004 Ford F-350 Super Duty trucks. It is designed for drivers who want firmer control, quicker response, and consistent damping in demanding truck use.
Gas-a-Just Product Line
KYB Gas-a-just shocks use a high-pressure monotube design with separate gas and oil chambers. That layout supports fast response, fade-resistant operation, and added damping performance over OE shocks, especially on trucks that tow, work, or run larger tires and wheels.

Detailed Description
KYB KG5044 is engineered for rear suspension service on the Ford F-250 Super Duty and Ford F-350 Super Duty. The monotube design uses an air-free hydraulic working area for control and a separate high-pressure nitrogen chamber for immediate response, helping maintain damping consistency under load. With a compressed length of 17.83 inches, extended length of 28.74 inches, and 10.91 inches of stroke, this shock is built to match the rear suspension travel required by these trucks. The KG5044 also supports electronic safety systems by helping the suspension, brakes, and tires operate as the vehicle manufacturer intended. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 911196 for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Excessive rear bounce after bumps or dips
- Reduced control when towing or hauling
- Soft or inconsistent damping from worn OE shocks
- Rear suspension fade during repeated heavy use
- Steering and chassis response that feels delayed on rough roads
