Keep your truck's front end firmly controlled without a harsh ride using the Monroe Gas-Magnum Front Suspension Shock Absorber 34520. It drops in as a direct-fit front shock for many trucks, among them the 2012 Ram 1500, the 2006-2008 Dodge Ram 1500 and the 2011-2013 Ram 2500 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

  • Built for trucks and vans: full-displaced valving on the compression cycle helps deliver controlled ride and handling for hardworking full-size trucks and vans.
  • Durable internals: a sintered iron piston supports longer service life, and a self-lubricating fluid seal reduces friction against the piston rod; non-dust-shield units add a heavy-duty nitrocarburized rod.
  • Nitrogen gas charge: helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade.
  • Larger bore & 2-in. reserve tube: hold more oil — up to twice the fluid capacity of standard 1-in. bore shocks — so the shock works efficiently.

OE all-weather fluid uses special modifiers to handle extreme temperatures and reduce friction. Sold individually; replacing both front shocks together as a matched pair is recommended for balanced control. Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty and Feel the Difference™ Guarantee.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a front or rear shock absorber?

The 34520 is cataloged as a front suspension shock absorber for the listed applications.

Will this fit a 2011-2013 Ram 2500?

Yes, the 2011-2013 Ram 2500 is a listed application, along with the 2012 Ram 1500 and 2006-2008 Dodge Ram 1500; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

Do I need to buy two?

This shock is sold individually. Replacing both front shocks together as a matched pair is recommended for balanced, even control.

What makes the Gas-Magnum design different?

It uses a larger bore and a 2-in. reserve tube to hold more oil — up to twice the fluid capacity of standard 1-in. bore shocks — plus a nitrogen gas charge to reduce aeration and shock fade.

What are signs my front shocks may need replacing?

Excessive bouncing over bumps, nose dive when braking, reduced control, or fluid leaking from the shock body may indicate worn shocks. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
