What is the main benefit of the external reservoir on these shocks?

The external reservoir holds extra shock fluid and gas, which helps dissipate heat more effectively. This leads to more consistent damping performance and helps prevent shock fade, especially during heavy use like off-roading or towing.

Are these shocks a direct bolt-on for a 4-inch lift on my RAM 2500?

These shocks are specifically designed to work with a 4-inch lift on 2014-2024 RAM 2500 4WD models. While they are intended as a direct fit for that lift height, it's always recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for any specific hardware or procedures.

What else might I need to install these shocks?

Typically, shocks require standard hand tools for installation. You will also need to consider how and where you will mount the external reservoir, ensuring the included high-pressure hose is properly routed and secured according to the manufacturer's guidelines.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to get the most out of your lifted RAM 2500, especially when tackling rough terrain or hauling heavy loads, the Maxtrac Vulcan Series Reservoir Shocks are a solid choice. These shocks are specifically built for RAM 2500 4WD models equipped with a 4-inch lift kit, ensuring they work correctly with your suspension geometry. The external reservoir design is key here; it holds extra oil and gas, which helps keep the shocks cooler under heavy use. This means more consistent damping performance, whether you're on a long off-road trail or just dealing with imperfect roads.

Maxtrac has constructed these Vulcan Series shocks with durability in mind. They feature a robust build designed to handle the demands placed on a heavy-duty truck. The reservoir is connected via a high-pressure hose, giving you flexibility in mounting it to best suit your setup and airflow. This setup helps prevent shock fade, a common issue where shocks lose their effectiveness when they overheat. For a RAM 2500 owner who pushes their truck, consistent damping is crucial for control and comfort.

When installing these shocks, you'll want to ensure you have the correct tools and follow the manufacturer's guidelines for mounting the reservoir. Proper placement can help maximize cooling efficiency. These shocks are designed to work with a 4-inch lift, so they'll provide the right amount of travel and damping for that specific ride height. They are sold as a set for both front and rear, giving you a complete suspension upgrade for your truck.
