- Firm control: Full-displaced valving on the compression cycle delivers controlled ride and handling for hardworking trucks and vans without a harsh ride.
- Larger capacity: A larger bore and bigger 2-in. reserve tube hold up to twice the fluid of standard 1-in. bore shocks, so the shock works efficiently with less effort.
- Built to last: A sintered iron piston and heavy-duty nitrocarburized rod (non-dust shield units only) enhance durability, and 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, and OE all-weather fluid handles extreme temperatures for smooth rod reaction.
Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty and exclusive Feel the Difference Guarantee.
