The internal design incorporates a one-piece linear/digressive piston with valving tailored specifically for Dodge Ram 1500 and Ram 1500 Classic models. This ensures a smooth, controlled ride while effectively managing suspension travel and damping forces. The use of premium materials such as forged steel mounting stems and polyurethane bushings guarantees a secure fit and long-lasting durability.
