Product Details

KYB Gas-a-just shocks are engineered for trucks that work, tow, or run larger wheels and tires. The KG5193 uses an air-free hydraulic working area for control and a high-pressure nitrogen chamber for added support when suspension demand increases. That design helps maintain consistent damping over rough roads, load changes, and repeated suspension movement. This part number, KG5193, is a direct rear shock option for Ford F-150 and Lincoln Mark LT models in the listed years.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 911261 for the same application.

Common Problems This Shock Can Address

• Excessive rear bounce after bumps or dips
• Reduced control when towing or carrying heavier loads
• Soft or delayed steering response from worn rear damping
• Shock fade during repeated suspension compression
• Fluid leakage from worn shock seals

Installation Notes

Verify rear mounting style and compressed, extended, and stroke dimensions before installation. This shock uses E2(12X38) upper and lower mounts, with a compressed length of 15.55 inches, extended length of 24.72 inches, and stroke length of 9.17 inches. Confirm vehicle year, model, and rear position against the fitment list for the KG5193 before ordering.

Quality Assurance

KYB designs Gas-a-just monotube shocks with performance-focused valving for truck applications, including Ford platforms. The KG5193 is built to deliver consistent damping response and support electronic safety systems by helping the suspension operate as the vehicle manufacturer intended.
