Designed for midsize and full-size trucks and vans, Monroe® Gas-Magnum® shock absorbers provide firm control without a harsh ride. With up to twice the fluid capacity of standard 1-in. bore shocks, they work more efficiently with less effort.

Product Features:

• DESIGNED FOR TRUCKS AND VANS — Engineered for hardworking full-size trucks and vans and features full-displaced valving on compression cycles to deliver controlled ride and handling
• BUILT TO LAST — Heavy-duty nitrocarburized rod (non-dust shield units only) and sintered iron piston enhance durability for longer service life while self-lubricating fluid seal reduces friction against piston rod to reduce wear
• CONSISTENT RIDE — OE all-weather fluid contains special modifiers to handle extreme temperatures and help reduce friction and ensure smooth rod reaction
• IMPROVES PERFORMANCE — Nitrogen gas-charge maintains tire-to-road contact for improved ride and handling by reducing aeration and shock fade
• LONGER SERVICE LIFE — Larger bore and bigger 2-in. reserve tube work together to hold more oil for greater capacity to allow the shock to work efficiently for controlled ride and longer service life
• Nitrogen Gas Charged: For improved ride and handling, helps maintain tire to road contact by reducing aeration – on most applications
• Sintered Iron Piston: Stronger than traditional metals, enhances durability for longer service life.
• Special Seal: ‘Self-lubricating’ fluid seal designed to retain gas without excessive wear or friction.

Designed to restore a vehicle’s original factory drivability and performance, Monroe® OESpectrum® light truck shock absorbers provide an exceptional level of handling precision and control while filtering out noise, vibration and harshness.

Product Features:

• IMPROVES STABILITY — ASD (Acceleration Sensitive Damping) valving technology and fluon-banded piston deliver greater control and handling while improving ride comfort
• IMPROVES PERFORMANCE — Nitrogen gas-charge maintains tire-to-road contact for improved ride and handling by reducing aeration and shock fade
• CONSISTENT RIDE — OE all-weather fluid contains special additives to assist with extreme temperatures and help reduce oil breakdown
• BUILT TO LAST — Self-lubricating fluid seal retains gas and reduces excessive friction against the piston rod to help reduce premature wear
• Special Seal: ‘Self-lubricating’ fluid seal designed to retain gas without excessive wear or friction.
• 1-3/8 inch (34.9 mm) bore (On most applications)
• 5/8-inch (15.9 mm) diameter piston rod (On most applications)

The KYB Gas-a-just monotube shock absorber has additional performance advantages over the traditional twin-tube design: It can instantly, automatically adjust to your performance needs and never experiences fade due to aeration. The KYB Gas-a-just has two separate working chambers: An air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for responsiveness and control, and a second high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston that provides a comfortable ride during normal driving and adds instant performance on demand.

Product Features:

• Adds Up To 25% More Damping Performance Over Original Equipment Shocks
• Components And Valving Designed Specifically For Gm Trucks
• Gas-A-Just Monotubes Include Additional Damping Over One Design For Vehicles That Work, Tow, And Have Larger, Heavier Tires & Wheels
• High Pressure Monotube Design Separates The Gas And Oil For Fade Free Operation And Instant Response
• Fluid Leaking Can Be A Cause Of Shock Failure, The KYB Gas-A-Just Has An Ultra-Smooth Triple Chrome Plated Chrome Piston Rod To Reduce Seal Wear
• The Higher Gas Pressure Of The KYB Gas-A-Just Responds Quickly To Improve Steering Response
• Electronic Safety Systems Depend On The Suspension, Brakes And Tires Operating As The Vehicle Manufacturer Intended. The KYB Gas-A-Just Helps Keep Electronic Safety Systems Performing As Designed.
