Product Details

The Monroe Gas-Magnum line is engineered for truck and van suspension demands where consistent control matters under load. Monroe 34731 uses a larger fluid capacity than standard 1-inch bore shocks, which helps it operate with less effort while maintaining controlled damping. For Ford F-350 rear shock replacement, this part number is a practical choice when you need stable ride control and predictable suspension response. This part cross-references KYB 344078 for the same application.

What This Shock Absorber Helps Address

• Excessive rear-end bounce on Ford F-350 trucks
• Reduced control over rough pavement or uneven roads
• Suspension instability during towing or hauling
• Worn rear shock performance from age and mileage
• Noise or harshness caused by degraded shock damping
