- Larger fluid capacity: a 1-3/8 in. bore and 2 in. reserve tube hold up to twice the fluid of standard 1 in. bore shocks, so the shock works more efficiently for a consistent, controlled ride.
- Full-displaced valving: tuned on the compression cycle to deliver controlled ride and handling for hardworking trucks and vans.
- Nitrogen gas charge: helps reduce aeration and shock fade to maintain tire-to-road contact on most applications.
- Built to last: sintered iron piston plus a self-lubricating fluid seal that reduces friction against the piston rod, with OE all-weather fluid to handle temperature extremes.
Cataloged for front, rear and front-outer positions depending on the application, with loop (eyelet) bushing-and-sleeve mounts and mounting hardware included. Painted yellow body. Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty and Feel the Difference Guarantee. The listed applications use two per application, so order the quantity your vehicle requires.

Which vehicles does this shock fit?

How many shocks do I need?
The listed applications use two per application, so order the quantity your vehicle requires. It's best practice to replace shocks in matched pairs for balanced ride control.
Does it include mounting hardware?
Yes. The catalog lists mounting hardware as included, and it uses loop (eyelet) bushing-and-sleeve mounts at both ends.
