Keep your class 6-8 work truck damping the road with the Monroe Magnum Rear Suspension Shock Absorber, MPN 65547. It installs as a direct-fit rear replacement for the 2011-2018 RAM 4500 and 2011-2018 RAM 5500. Monroe describes the Magnum as the first gas-charged, large-bore shock built for air spring and taper leaf suspensions, using a nitrogen gas charge for the fast response heavy-duty truck suspensions demand.
- Gas-charged damping: The nitrogen gas-charge helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade for more consistent ride and handling.
- 10-Stage valving: Tuned to each vehicle and paired with a larger 1-3/4-in. bore for more efficient damping control (most applications).
- All-weather fluid: Special additives help handle temperature extremes and reduce oil breakdown, while a larger 2-3/8-in. reserve tube holds more fluid (most applications).
- Strong and durable: Shouldered and bonded bushing with sleeve helps protect against bushing walkout, with arc welds up to 360°.
A PTFE-coated bearing reduces friction between the rod and rod guide, and the nitrocarburized piston rod is built for a longer service life (most applications). Signs your rear shocks may need replacing include excessive bounce, nose-dive, poor load control, or fluid leaking from the shock body. Backed by Monroe's 90-day Risk Free Ride Offer and Limited Commercial Warranty.
