Keep your load-hauling Ram planted with the Monroe Gas-Magnum 34515 Rear Suspension Shock Absorber. Engineered for hardworking full-size trucks and vans, it installs as a direct-fit rear damper for the 2002-2008 Dodge Ram 1500 (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment), delivering firm control without a harsh ride.
- Designed for trucks and vans: full-displaced valving on the compression cycle for controlled ride and handling under load.
- Larger bore & reserve tube: up to twice the fluid capacity of standard 1-in. bore shocks, with a bigger 2-in. reserve tube that holds more oil so the shock works efficiently.
- Built to last: heavy-duty nitrocarburized rod (non-dust-shield units only) and a sintered iron piston enhance durability, while a self-lubricating fluid seal reduces friction against the piston rod.
- Nitrogen gas-charge: helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade; OE all-weather fluid handles temperature extremes for smooth rod reaction.
Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty and exclusive Feel the Difference™ Guarantee. Shocks wear as a set, so replacing both rear units together is recommended for balanced ride control. Sold individually; order 2 for a complete rear-axle replacement.
