KYB MonoMax gas shocks are the heavy-duty choice for trucks and SUVs that tow, haul, or see off-road use. With the highest gas pressure in the KYB range and a large-diameter bore, these shocks provide exceptional fade resistance and body control under the most demanding driving conditions. Heavy loads and rough roads are no match for MonoMax damping technology.

Large-bore monotube design with a high-pressure nitrogen charge separated by a floating piston. The elevated gas pressure actively extends the shock to maintain tire contact and resist the aeration that causes damping fade in conventional designs. Heavy-duty chrome piston rod and durable sealed construction withstand the harsh environments that kill standard shocks.

Direct OEM replacement fitment using factory mounting points. Sold individually. Compatible with both stock-height and mildly lifted applications up to 2 inches. MonoMax is the shock of choice for work trucks and overland vehicles that require reliable damping in extreme conditions. Order a set for all four corners.

Built for the hard-working truck. KYB MonoMax handles the load without fade, mile after mile. Order your heavy-duty shocks now.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the KYB Excel-G gas pressure improve ride quality on my your vehicle?

The KYB Excel-G shocks for your your vehicle use a low-pressure gas charge of approximately 25 to 35 psi to keep the oil from foaming under normal driving conditions. This internal gas pressure maintains consistent damping force across varying temperatures and driving conditions. These KYB shocks provide a smooth, controlled ride that closely matches the OEM specifications for your your vehicle.

Will the KYB Gas-a-Just shocks fit the factory mounting points on my your vehicle?

Yes, the KYB Gas-a-Just shocks are direct bolt-in replacements using the factory mounting points on your your vehicle. The mounting dimensions match OEM exactly with the same stud size and bushing width of approximately 12mm. These KYB shocks include all necessary mounting hardware for a straightforward installation without modifications.

What is the gas pressure inside the KYB shocks for my your vehicle application?

The KYB shocks for your your vehicle contain a high-pressure nitrogen gas charge of approximately 200 to 260 psi inside the monotube design. This high pressure keeps the oil from aerating during aggressive driving and maintains consistent damping. These KYB shocks provide approximately 30 percent more damping force than standard twin-tube designs for your your vehicle.

Do the KYB Excel-G struts provide better handling than OEM on my your vehicle?

The KYB Excel-G struts for your your vehicle provide approximately 20 percent more damping force than OEM struts for improved handling without sacrificing comfort. The valving is optimized for the stock spring rates and vehicle weight specifications. These KYB struts reduce body roll during cornering and improve steering response on your your vehicle by 15 percent.

Can I use KYB Gas-a-Just shocks with lowering springs on my your vehicle?

Yes, the KYB Gas-a-Just shocks work well with aftermarket lowering springs on your your vehicle because of their higher gas pressure and damping capacity. The monotube design provides approximately 260 psi of gas pressure to handle spring rates up to 180 lbs/in. These KYB shocks maintain proper bump stop engagement even with a 1.5-inch ride height drop.

How long do KYB shocks typically last on my your vehicle before needing replacement?

KYB shocks on your your vehicle typically last between 50,000 and 70,000 miles under normal driving conditions before needing replacement. The chrome-plated piston rod and multi-lip seal design resist corrosion and leakage over years of service. These KYB shocks are backed by a limited lifetime warranty for peace of mind.
