Product Description

The KYB 344374 Excel-G Rear Shock is engineered as a direct replacement for worn or failed rear shocks on compatible 2WD Ford F-150 and Heritage trucks from 1997-2004. Featuring KYB's gas-charged twin-tube technology, this shock helps restore your truck's original ride quality, improve handling and stability, and maintain proper wheel control over rough roads and during cornering. The Excel-G line is designed to deliver factory-matching performance without compromising comfort, making it ideal for daily drivers and light hauling duties.

Built to strict OEM specifications, the Excel-G rear shock uses durable components like hard-chrome piston rods and multi-lip seals to resist corrosion and extend service life. The nitrogen gas charge reduces internal foaming and aeration, preserving consistent damping under repeated use. Sold individually, this shock absorber is a reliable upgrade or replacement option when maintaining your truck's ride quality and handling characteristics is essential. Note that this shock does **not** fit Ford F-150 models equipped with the 7700 GVW package due to different rear suspension bracket designs.
