Restore your truck's original ride control, stability, and handling with the KYB Excel-G Front Shock Absorber 349110. This nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube shock drops in as a direct-fit front replacement for the 2009-2010 Dodge Ram 1500, the 2011-2018 Ram 1500, and the 2019-2024 Ram 1500 Classic — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level applications. KYB is a world-leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components, calibrated to restore designed performance rather than change it — earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
