Product Description

The KYB 344375 Excel-G is a direct OEM-replacement rear shock absorber engineered specifically for the 1997-2003 Ford F-150 and 2004 Ford F-150 Heritage in 4WD configuration. A single non-handed part number covers both rear corners, simplifying ordering. Built on the same KYB production lines that supply major vehicle manufacturers, the Excel-G uses 4WD-specific valving calibrated for the P2-generation F-150's rear suspension - restoring factory ride control, load stability, braking performance, and towing characteristics.

The nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design prevents foaming and damping fade under demanding truck use, while hand-assembled valves in a pressurized clean room ensure precise, consistent control over rear body movement and wheel contact. Important: this shock is for 4WD variants only - the RWD rear shock is KYB 344374. The 2004 F-150 Heritage was a transitional carryover of the 10th-generation F-150 and is covered by this same part number when equipped with 4WD. Backed by KYB's Limited Lifetime Warranty.
