Key Features:

These shocks incorporate advanced technology and robust construction to meet the rigorous demands of trucks and SUVs:

• Heavy-Duty Monotube Design: Provides enhanced stability and control for high center-of-gravity vehicles like the Dodge Ram 1500.
• High-Pressure Gas Charge: Separates oil and gas to ensure consistent, fade-free performance under extreme conditions.
• Work-Ready Piston Ring: Zinc-coated stainless steel piston ring maintains a secure seal to prevent fluid leaks and preserve shock efficiency.
• Triple Chrome-Plated Piston Rod: Ultra-smooth rod reduces seal wear and extends shock life.
• Robust Dust Boot: Thick rubber boot protects the shock shaft from dirt, debris, and premature wear.
• Enhanced Damping Power: Delivers 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 durable monotube construction designed to withstand the stresses of heavy-duty use. The high-pressure gas charge technology separates oil and gas, preventing aeration and ensuring consistent damping performance. The zinc-coated stainless steel piston ring and triple chrome-plated piston rod contribute to long-lasting durability by reducing wear and maintaining a tight seal. Additionally, the thick rubber dust boot shields critical components from environmental contaminants, extending the service life of the shock absorber.

Performance & Sound
