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 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.

Ideal for light trucks that that tow or carry varying loads, Monroe load adjusting shocks include a heavy gauge calibrated spring that adjusts to road and weight conditions to provide extra control when operating conditions get more demanding.

Product Features:

• REDUCES SAG UNDER LOAD – Ideal for occasionally hauling or towing varying loads, heavy gauge, calibrated coil spring reduces sag when loaded up to 1,200 lbs. (capacity limited by suspension, tires and transmission, see owner’s manual)
• EXCEPTIONAL HANDLING – Tuned specifically for each application, full-displaced valving automatically adjusts to road extremes to provide ride consistency
• CONSISTENT RIDE – OE all-weather fluid contains special modifiers to handle extreme temperatures and PTFE-banded piston helps reduce friction between the piston and pressure tube to enhance responsiveness to changing road surfaces
• LONGER SERVICE LIFE – Self-lubricating fluid seal retains gas and reduces excessive friction against the piston rod to help reduce premature wear while heavy-duty nitrocarburized rod delivers long life
• IMPROVES PERFORMANCE – Nitrogen gas-charge maintains tire-to-road contact for improved ride and handling by reducing aeration and shock fade
• Nitrogen Gas Charged: For Improved Ride & Handling, Helps Maintain Tire To Road Contact By Reducing Aeration – On Most Applications
• 5/8 nitrocarburized rod for long service life.
• Special Seal: ‘Self-lubricating’ fluid seal designed to retain gas without excessive wear or friction.

Product Features:

• PRECISE HANDLING AND PERFORMANCE: Deflective Disc Valving features digressive, linear or progressive tuning based on application requirements for precision handling and performance on- and off-road
• STRONG AND DURABLE: Features a 14mm hardened chrome piston rod to resist scuffs & corrosion, double-welded loops at stress areas, double strength closure method and hot form reserve tube
• HANDLES EXTREME TEMPERATURE CHANGES: Large 2-in. monotube body filled with all-weather fluid allows for cooler operation, increased vehicle control and ability to withstand internal temperatures of -40 to 248 Deg. F
• REDUCES FADE: Full-floating dividing piston and high-pressure nitrogen gas maintains constant pressure against the hydraulic oil, reducing aeration and shock fade
• SMOOTH PERFORMANCE: Internal rebound bumper and shouldered rubber bushings help reduce noise, vibration and ride harshness while the PTFE-banded piston enhances responsiveness to changing road conditions for an overall smoother ride
• THE RIGHT FIT: Designed to fit right out of the box, application-specific mounting installs easily with no need for installing sleeves or extra hardware
• KEEPS DIRT AND DEBRIS OUT: Sealing system with integrated dirt wiper helps keep moisture, dirt and debris from being ingested into the shock and contaminating the oil and destroying the internal seal
• BUILT TO LAST: Large 46mm fluon-banded piston for consistent sealing between the piston and monotube for precise control, ride and handling; for extra protection, purchase shock boot RS1952 or RS1961
• BOLD APPEARANCE: Black satin finish with distinctive Rancho red logo for an eye-catching look that stands out
• BUY WITH CONFIDENCE: Comes with Rancho’s Limited Warranty

Featuring a unique, exclusive valving system and advanced compression functionality, Rancho RS5000X shocks deliver improved overall on-road and off-road handling and performance.

Product Features:

• IMPROVED HANDLING AND PERFORMANCE – Cross Tuned technology featuring exclusive rebound valving system and advanced compression phase improves overall handling and performance on and off road
• MINIMIZES ROUGH RIDE – Exclusive Progressive Engagement Valving is custom-tuned for each vehicle to help reduce initial impacts at low speeds and minimizes a rough ride
• STRONG AND DURABLE – Features a 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod to resist scuffs & corrosion, double-welded loops at stress areas, 35mm sintered iron piston for enhanced structural integrity and polyvinyl protective boot
• HANDLES EXTREME TEMPERATURE CHANGES – Large twin-tube body filled with all-weather fluid allows for cooler operation, increased vehicle control and ability to withstand internal temperatures of -40 to 248 degree F
• SMOOTH PERFORMANCE – Polyurethane rebound bumper and rubber bushings help absorb ride harshness while the fluon-banded piston enhances responsiveness to changing road conditions for an overall smoother ride
• REDUCES FADE – Nitrogen gas pressurized to 150 PSI to minimize air-to-oil mixture to reduce damping performance fade and foaming
• MAINTAINS VEHICLE CONTROL – Compression Control Valve is custom-tuned for each vehicle to regulate fluid transfer to absorb impacts without disc flutter and help maintain shock motion control
• BUILT TO LAST – Low-friction, self-lubricating seal retains gas and oil for quicker rebound and smoother compression while the application-specific piston delivers heightened control of shock motion due to the expanded piston area
• BUY WITH CONFIDENCE – Comes with Rancho’s Limited Warranty
