KYB MonoMax Shocks and Struts (FRONT)

2014–2019 Ram 2500

5650008

Overview:

The KYB MonoMax Shocks 5650008 are engineered specifically for heavy-duty trucks and SUVs like the Ram 2500, delivering superior stability, control, and durability. Designed to meet the demands of towing, hauling, and off-road driving, these monotube shocks provide enhanced handling and ride quality under challenging conditions. Whether navigating rough terrain or carrying heavy loads, the MonoMax shocks help maintain vehicle control and safety by reducing body roll and improving steering response.

Built for drivers who require reliable, long-lasting suspension performance, KYB MonoMax shocks are an ideal upgrade for Ram 2500 owners seeking to restore or improve their truck’s factory handling characteristics while adding toughness for demanding applications.

Key Features:

KYB MonoMax Shocks 5650008 incorporate advanced technology and robust construction to deliver exceptional performance:

• Heavy-Duty Monotube Design: Provides enhanced stability and control for high center-of-gravity vehicles like trucks and SUVs.
• High-Pressure Gas Charge: Separates oil and gas to ensure consistent, fade-free damping performance even under extreme conditions.
• Work-Ready Piston Ring: Zinc-coated stainless steel piston ring creates a secure seal to prevent fluid leaks and maintain optimal shock function.
• Triple Chrome-Plated Piston Rod: Ultra-smooth surface reduces seal wear and increases durability for long service life.
• Robust Dust Boot: Thick rubber boot protects the shock shaft from dirt, debris, and rocks, preventing premature wear.
• Enhanced Damping Power: Offers up to 40% more damping compared to original equipment twin-tube shocks, ideal for larger tires and wheels.

Construction & Design:

The KYB MonoMax shocks feature a monotube design that separates oil and gas chambers with a floating piston, ensuring consistent damping and preventing aeration. The high-pressure gas charge maintains shock responsiveness and reduces fade during heavy use. The piston ring is zinc-coated stainless steel, providing a durable seal that resists wear and fluid leakage. The piston rod is triple chrome-plated for corrosion resistance and smooth operation, while the thick rubber dust boot shields critical components from environmental damage. This rugged construction is tailored to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty use in trucks like the Ram 2500.

Installation & Fitment:

KYB MonoMax Shocks 5650008 are designed as direct replacements for the front shocks on 2014 through 2019 Ram 2500 models. Installation requires no modifications, fitting directly to the factory mounting points with standard tools. These shocks restore or improve the vehicle’s original handling characteristics, making them a straightforward upgrade for owners looking to enhance ride quality and control.

What's Included:
