KYB KG5441 Suspension Shock Absorber - Front or Rear

KYB Gas-a-just Rear Shock for Ford Trucks

The KYB Gas-a-just KG5441 is a monotube suspension shock absorber built for Ford truck applications that need firmer control, quicker response, and consistent damping. It is designed for rear and front fitments across select Ford F-150, F-250, F-350, Bronco, Ranger, and Super Duty models, including heavy-duty use cases such as towing and larger wheel and tire setups.

The Gas-a-just line uses a high-pressure monotube design that separates gas and oil for fade-resistant operation and immediate response. For Ford truck owners looking for a KYB KG5441 shock absorber that supports steering feel, load control, and suspension stability, this part is built around those demands.

Key Features

• Up to 25% more damping performance than original equipment shocks
• Monotube construction with separate gas and oil chambers for consistent response
• High-pressure nitrogen gas helps maintain control during normal driving and load changes
• Triple chrome plated piston rod helps reduce seal wear and fluid leakage risk
• Valving and components are tuned specifically for Ford truck applications
• Designed for vehicles that work, tow, or run larger, heavier tires and wheels
• Supports electronic safety systems by helping the suspension operate as intended

Product Details

KYB Gas-a-just shocks are engineered to deliver a more controlled ride than a conventional twin-tube design. The KG5441 uses an air-free hydraulic working area for responsiveness and a separate high-pressure gas chamber with a floating piston to maintain ride comfort while adding damping on demand. With a compressed length of 14.49 inches, extended length of 23.54 inches, and stroke length of 9.06 inches, this shock is built to match the listed Ford truck applications. Mounting details include lower mount type E2(12X38) and upper mount type E1, and a dust cover is included. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 911195 for the same application.

Common Problems This Shock Can Address

• Excessive bounce after bumps or dips
• Reduced control when towing or carrying heavier loads
• Soft or delayed steering response
• Shock fade from heat and aeration during repeated suspension movement
• Ride instability on Ford trucks with larger tires and wheels
