Monroe 34816 Shock Absorber - Rear

Monroe Gas-Magnum Rear Shock for Ram 3500

Monroe Gas-Magnum Shock Absorber 34816 is built for rear suspension use on Ram 3500 trucks and is also listed for Ram 3500 dual rear wheel applications. It is engineered for firm body control while avoiding the harshness that can come from heavier-duty shock tuning.

The Gas-Magnum line is Monroe’s truck and van shock family, and this part uses a larger reserve tube and increased fluid capacity to manage heat and repeated suspension movement more efficiently than a standard 1-inch bore design.

Monroe Shock Absorber 34816 is a rear suspension shock absorber for Ram 3500 trucks that need controlled damping for load carrying, towing, and everyday road use. The larger fluid capacity helps the shock manage repeated compression and rebound cycles with less effort, which supports more consistent ride control on heavy-duty rear suspensions. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 5168924AB and 5168924AC for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear bounce after bumps or dips
• Reduced control when towing or carrying weight
• Rear-end instability on rough pavement
• Harsh or inconsistent damping from worn shocks
• Suspension movement that feels loose or underdamped
