Features of the Gas-Magnum Shock Absorber

The Monroe Gas-Magnum Shock Absorber line is designed to deliver consistent damping performance using pressurized nitrogen gas technology. This technology reduces shock fade and improves handling, especially in heavy-duty applications. The 34812 part number features an extended length of 22.35 inches and a travel length of 7.01 inches, making it suitable for the suspension geometry of Chevrolet and GMC 3500 HD trucks. The loop bushing and sleeve mounts ensure a secure fit with a 14mm sleeve inner diameter and precise outer dimensions for both upper and lower mounting points.

Detailed Product Description

This suspension shock absorber is built without a dust shield or compressed bumper stop but includes an extended bumper stop to protect the shock during full compression. The extended length and travel length specifications are tailored to maintain ride quality and vehicle control on rough terrain or when carrying heavy loads. The mounting codes LS92 correspond to loop bushing and sleeve mount types, providing a reliable connection to the vehicle’s suspension system. The absence of a compressed bumper stop and hydraulic lockout indicates a design focused on durability and consistent damping rather than adjustable features.
