How do KYB Truck-Plus performance upgrade shock assemblies provide greater handling and control for trucks that work, go off-road, have larger tires and wheels, or tow heavy loads?
Added damping
The KYB Truck-Plus shocks are engineered with the same research and testing as our Strut-Plus Shock Assemblies, but Truck-Plus Assemblies include a strut with additional damping, and on many applications, a monotube design.
Monotube design
Monotube designs have two separate working areas within one tube: an air-free hydraulic area for complete fluid control and a second high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston that allows the shock to automatically adjust, delivering instant performance on demand.
What makes KYB Truck-Plus Shock Assemblies a great choice for trucks with larger tires and wheels?
Larger wheels and tires can add up to 25 pounds of additional weight to each wheel.
OE strut assemblies are engineered for original equipment tires and wheels, and are not calibrated for larger, heavier ones.
Compared with typical original-equipment shock assemblies, KYB Truck-Plus Shock Assemblies deliver greater damping for better control of vehicles with upgrade tire-and-wheel packages.
KYB Truck-Plus Shock Assemblies are easy to install, and they’re an ideal solution for owners of modern ½ ton trucks who are looking to increase their truck’s stability, handling, and control. They’re especially good for work trucks and towing trucks.
The KYB Product Team chooses the most appropriate base unit for each Truck-Plus application: an HD Excel-G, our popular Gas-a-Just monotube, or MonoMax.
Truck-Plus: for trucks that
Tow Ready
Towing, hauling heavy loads and plowing require additional damping and control capabilities. KYB Monotube shocks are a great truck shock for towing.
Increases Steering Response
Steering response is a critical part of vehicle safety. Worn and economy shocks can allow fluid to travel through the shock valves too quickly, this reduces overall steering response. KYB’s shock valves are designed to help restore steering response to what the vehicle manufacturer intended.
Adds handling and control
With a faster response and additional damping over OE twin-tube designs, KYB monotube shocks are a great way to give your vehicle additional handling and control capabilities, as well as a smooth ride.
Complete assembly
Already assembled with the correct spring, top mount and insulators required for quick replacement.
All KYB Truck-Plus units are assembled in the USA
The KYB Truck-Plus is built specifically for trucks that work, go off-road, have larger tires and wheels, or haul heavy loads.
The best truck shocks won’t work well in a complete assembly without great springs. KYB uses high carbon steel coil springs that are heat treated, stress relieved, cycle tested, and salt spray tested.
