Product Details

KYB MonoMax shocks are built for trucks that carry heavier loads or operate with a higher center of gravity. The monotube construction helps maintain stable damping response as conditions change, while the work-ready piston ring and dust boot support durability in harsh environments. For Dodge Ram 1500, Ram 2500, and Ram 3500 front suspension service, KYB 565015 is a direct-fit shock absorber option focused on control, ride stability, and long-term performance.

Common Uses

• Front-end bounce or instability on a Dodge Ram 1500, Ram 2500, or Ram 3500
• Reduced control when towing a trailer or hauling cargo
• Excessive body movement on rough roads or off-road surfaces
• Need for a monotube shock upgrade over standard twin-tube designs
• Suspension service on trucks used for work or heavy-duty driving

Installation Notes

Verify fitment by year, model, and front position before installation. Confirm mount style and shock dimensions against the original part, especially on 1994-2002 Dodge Ram 3500 applications with independent front suspension. Inspect related suspension components, fasteners, and bushings during replacement to ensure proper operation after installation.

Quality Assurance

KYB designs the MonoMax line for demanding truck applications where consistent damping and durability matter. The 565015 uses a monotube construction, a zinc-coated stainless steel piston ring, and an included dust boot to support reliable front suspension performance in severe service.
