KYB KG5466 Shock Absorber - Rear

KYB Gas-a-Just Rear Shock Absorber

The KYB Gas-a-just KG5466 is a monotube rear shock absorber built for drivers who want firmer control, quicker response, and consistent damping under load. It is a direct-fit suspension shock absorber for select Toyota, Isuzu, and Jeep applications, including rear fitments for the Toyota T100, Toyota Pickup, and Toyota Land Cruiser.

Gas-a-just shocks use a high-pressure monotube design that separates gas and oil for fade-resistant operation and immediate response. The KG5466 is engineered for vehicles that work, tow, or run larger tires and wheels, while still maintaining a controlled ride during normal driving.

Key Features

• Up to 25% more damping performance than original equipment shocks
• Vehicle-specific valving and components for the listed applications
• High-pressure monotube construction for fast response and reduced fade
• Designed for trucks and SUVs that tow, haul, or carry heavier wheel and tire setups
• Triple chrome plated piston rod helps reduce seal wear and fluid leakage
• Higher gas pressure improves steering response and suspension control
• Supports proper suspension behavior for vehicles equipped with electronic safety systems
• Compressed length: 14.09 in; extended length: 22.95 in; stroke length: 8.86 in
• Lower mount type: E1; upper mount type: E1; dust cover included

Product Details

KYB Gas-a-Just is the brand’s performance-oriented shock line, focused on monotube construction and responsive damping. The KG5466 uses separate working chambers for hydraulic control and nitrogen gas pressure, which helps maintain consistent performance as suspension demands change. This makes it a strong choice for rear suspension service on older Toyota, Isuzu, and Jeep platforms where added control is preferred over a softer OE-style ride.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 37029) for the same application. It is also listed alongside Gabriel 77492 interchange coverage.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear bounce or oscillation
• Reduced control when towing or hauling
• Shock fade during repeated suspension movement
• Loose handling from worn rear dampers
• Uneven response with larger tires and wheels
