KYB MonoMax Shocks and Struts (REAR)

2014–2019 Ram 2500 (Without Air Springs / HD Shocks, Excluding Power Wagon)

5650010

Overview:

The KYB MonoMax Shocks 5650010 are engineered specifically for the rear suspension of Ram 2500 trucks from 2014 to 2019 that do not have air springs and are equipped with heavy-duty shocks, excluding Power Wagon models. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of trucks and SUVs, these heavy-duty monotube shocks deliver superior stability, handling, and durability. Whether you’re towing heavy loads, hauling cargo, or navigating rough off-road terrain, the MonoMax shocks provide the confidence and control needed to keep your Ram 2500 performing at its best.

Built to withstand challenging driving conditions, these shocks enhance vehicle stability by reducing body roll and improving steering response. They are an ideal upgrade for drivers seeking reliable, long-lasting suspension components that maintain consistent performance under heavy use.

Key Features:

KYB MonoMax Shocks incorporate advanced technology and robust construction to deliver exceptional performance and durability. Key features include:

• Heavy-Duty Monotube Design: Provides enhanced stability and control for trucks with a higher center of gravity, especially in demanding driving environments.
• High-Pressure Gas Charge: Separates oil and gas to prevent foaming, ensuring consistent, fade-free damping performance even under extreme conditions.
• Work-Ready Piston Ring: Zinc-coated stainless steel piston ring creates a secure seal to maintain optimal shock function and prevent fluid leaks.
• Triple Chrome-Plated Piston Rod: Ultra-smooth finish reduces seal wear and extends shock life by resisting corrosion and abrasion.
• Robust Dust Boot: Thick rubber boot protects the shock shaft from dirt, rocks, and debris, preventing premature wear.
• Enhanced Damping Power: Offers up to 40% more damping compared to original equipment twin-tube shocks, ideal for trucks with larger tires and wheels.
• Improved Steering Response: Advanced valve design restores precise steering feel and vehicle control.

Construction & Design:

The KYB MonoMax shocks feature a durable monotube construction that is engineered to handle the stresses of heavy-duty truck applications. The monotube design allows for better heat dissipation and consistent damping performance, which is critical when towing or hauling heavy loads. The piston rod is triple chrome-plated to resist corrosion and wear, while the zinc-coated stainless steel piston ring ensures a tight seal to prevent fluid leaks and maintain shock integrity over time.

Additionally, the shocks are equipped with a thick rubber dust boot that shields the shaft from environmental contaminants, extending the service life of the shock absorber. These design elements combine to deliver a shock that is both rugged and reliable, capable of enduring the toughest road and off-road conditions.

Installation & Fitment:

The KYB MonoMax Shocks 5650010 are direct-fit replacements designed specifically for the rear suspension of 2014–2019 Ram 2500 trucks without air springs and equipped with heavy-duty shocks, excluding Power Wagon models. Installation is straightforward and requires no modifications, making it a convenient upgrade for owners looking to restore or improve their truck’s suspension performance. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper torque specifications and alignment.

What's Included:

• One pair of KYB MonoMax Rear Shocks (Part #5650010)
• Protective dust boots installed
• Installation instructions (where applicable)

Ideal For:

These shocks are ideal for Ram 2500 owners who demand superior suspension performance under heavy-duty conditions. Whether you frequently tow trailers, haul heavy payloads, or drive off-road, the KYB MonoMax shocks provide enhanced stability, improved handling, and increased durability. They are especially suited for trucks equipped with larger tires and wheels that require more robust damping capabilities than standard OEM shocks.
