About the KYB Gas-a-just Product Line

The Gas-a-just line from KYB is designed to provide consistent damping performance by using a high-pressure gas charge to reduce aeration and foaming inside the shock absorber. This technology helps maintain stable handling and ride comfort under various driving conditions. The KG54104 model benefits from this design, offering improved control for heavy-duty trucks like the Dodge Ram and Chevrolet Silverado series.

Technical Details and Features

The KG54104 shock absorber features a compressed length of 15.28 inches and an extended length of 24.33 inches, providing a stroke length of 9.06 inches. Both the upper and lower mounts use the E2 (14.6x42) type, ensuring secure and precise installation. The inclusion of a dust cover helps protect the shock shaft from dirt and debris, extending the service life of the component. This model includes a right stop (R-stop) but does not have an internal rebound spring or B-stop, which is typical for this application.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Restores proper suspension travel and damping on Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Classic and Sierra 1500 Classic trucks

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and supported before removing the old shock absorber. Verify that the mount types match the E2 (14.6x42) specification for both upper and lower mounts. The dust cover included with the KG54104 should be inspected for damage during installation and replaced if necessary. Proper torque specifications should be followed to avoid premature wear or failure.
