Firm up the ride of your hardworking truck or van with the Monroe Gas-Magnum Shock Absorber (MPN 34824), a rear-position damper engineered for midsize and full-size trucks and vans. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, including the 1975-1986 Chevrolet C10, 1973-1986 Chevrolet C10 Suburban, 1975-1986 Chevrolet K10, 1975-1986 Chevrolet K5 Blazer, 1979-1986 GMC C1500, 1979-1986 GMC K1500 and 1973-1991 GMC Jimmy — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full 70-application list.
- Built for trucks & vans: full-displaced valving on the compression cycle is designed to deliver controlled ride and handling under load.
- Larger capacity: a bigger bore and 2-in. reserve tube hold more oil — up to twice the fluid of standard 1-in. bore shocks — so the shock works more efficiently for a longer service life.
- 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 to reduce wear.
- Nitrogen gas-charge: helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade, and OE all-weather fluid helps handle temperature extremes for smooth rod reaction.
Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty and Feel the Difference Guarantee.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where does this shock absorber mount?
It is a rear-position shock absorber for the listed Chevrolet and GMC trucks, vans and SUVs. Confirm your vehicle in the "Vehicles it fits" section before ordering.
What does a shock absorber do?
It dampens spring and suspension movement to help control ride and keep the tire in contact with the road. The Gas-Magnum uses a nitrogen gas-charge to reduce aeration and shock fade.
What are signs my shocks may need replacing?
Excessive bouncing after bumps, nose dive when braking, a floaty or unstable ride, or fluid leaking from the shock body are common signs the shock may need replacing.
Should I replace shocks in pairs?
Replacing both shocks on the same axle together as a matched pair is recommended for balanced ride control and even wear. This listing is for one shock.
What vehicles does MPN 34824 fit?
It fits many 1973-1991 Chevrolet and GMC applications, including the C10, K10, K5 Blazer, C1500, K1500, Suburban and Jimmy. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
