Product Details

The Monroe Gas-Magnum Shock Absorber line is aimed at truck and van suspension service where controlled damping matters. Part number 34800 uses a larger fluid capacity than standard 1-inch bore shocks, which helps the shock manage heat and repeated suspension movement more effectively. For Ram 1500 front suspension repair, Monroe 34800 provides a direct replacement option for vehicles that need stable handling and consistent ride control.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. It also cross-references Mopar 68040873AB for select OE-style replacement needs.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive front-end bounce on Ram 1500 and Ram 1500 Classic trucks
• Loose or undercontrolled ride quality during load changes
• Reduced damping performance from worn front shocks
• Front suspension instability over uneven pavement
• Inconsistent handling during daily driving or work use
