What does 'w/o Rear Air Spring & w/ HD Shocks' mean for my Ram 2500?

This shock is intended for Ram 2500 trucks that do not have the factory rear air suspension system. It's also meant for trucks that came with heavy-duty (HD) shocks from the factory, ensuring compatibility with your original setup.

Why is a monotube shock design beneficial?

The monotube design separates the oil and gas within the shock absorber, which helps to dissipate heat more effectively. This leads to more consistent damping performance, especially during heavy use like towing or hauling, and reduces the chance of the shock fading.

Do I need to replace both rear shocks at the same time?

It is highly recommended to replace rear shock absorbers in pairs. This ensures that the damping force is balanced on both sides of the axle, providing consistent handling and preventing uneven tire wear.

Product Details

This KYB MonoMax rear shock absorber is made for your 2014-2025 Ram 2500 with rear-wheel drive, specifically if your truck does not have rear air springs and is equipped with heavy-duty shocks from the factory. It's designed to replace your worn-out original shock, helping to restore your truck's ride comfort and handling.

KYB's MonoMax shocks use a monotube design, which means they can handle more heat and maintain consistent damping performance, even under tough conditions. This is important for a truck like the Ram 2500, which often carries heavy loads or tows trailers. The shock is filled with nitrogen gas to prevent foaming and aeration, which can degrade performance in standard twin-tube shocks. This well-built shock should provide a noticeable improvement in control over bumps and reduce body roll when cornering.

When installing, remember that shocks are a critical part of your suspension system. Replacing them in pairs on the rear axle is generally recommended to ensure balanced performance. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details on mounting and any required hardware.
