Firm up the ride and keep your truck or van planted with the Monroe Gas-Magnum Front Suspension Shock Absorber (MPN 34831). This front shock drops in as a direct-fit replacement across a long list of full-size Dodge, Plymouth, and International trucks and vans — including the 1975-1980 Dodge B100/B200/B300, 1981-1994 Dodge B150/B250/B350, 1995-1998 Dodge B1500/B2500/B3500, and the 1995-2003 Dodge Ram 1500 Van — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of 28 applications.
- Designed for trucks and vans: full-displaced valving on the compression cycle for controlled ride and handling on hardworking full-size trucks and vans.
- Built to last: heavy-duty nitrocarburized rod (non-dust-shield units only) and sintered iron piston, plus a self-lubricating fluid seal that reduces friction against the piston rod.
- Consistent ride: OE all-weather fluid with special modifiers to handle extreme temperatures and help keep rod reaction smooth.
- Improves performance: nitrogen gas-charge helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade.
- Larger capacity: a bigger bore and 2-in. reserve tube hold up to twice the fluid of standard 1-in. bore shocks for efficient operation and longer service life.
Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty and Feel the Difference Guarantee. Sold individually — for even, balanced ride control it's best practice to replace the front shocks as a matched pair.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where does this shock absorber mount?
It is a front suspension shock absorber for the listed Dodge, Plymouth, and International trucks and vans. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the application for your vehicle.
What does a shock absorber do?
It damps suspension movement to control ride and handling. The nitrogen gas-charge helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade.
How do I know if my front shocks need replacing?
Signs may include excessive bouncing, nose-dive under braking, or reduced ride control. Have the suspension inspected to confirm the shocks are the cause before replacing.
Should I replace both front shocks at once?
Each shock is sold individually. For even, balanced ride control it's best practice to replace the front shocks as a matched pair.
How much fluid capacity does the Gas-Magnum offer?
Its larger bore and 2-in. reserve tube hold up to twice the fluid of standard 1-in. bore shocks, allowing the shock to work efficiently for a controlled ride.
