Product Details

Monroe’s OESpectrum light truck line is tuned for OE-style ride control on trucks that see daily driving, towing, and load changes. This shock absorber uses a front-specific design with a 13.74-inch compressed length, 22.01-inch extended length, and 8.27 inches of travel. The metal dust shield adds protection, while the extended hydraulic lockout helps manage suspension extension events for more stable operation. Part number 37104 cross-references KYB 344376 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive front-end bounce after bumps
• Loose or unsettled steering feel from worn shocks
• Harsh noise and vibration transmitted through the suspension
• Reduced ride control on worn Dodge Ram front suspension systems
• Top-out harshness during suspension extension

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front suspension fitment by year, model, and mounting style before installation. This shock uses a stem upper mount and a loop bushing and sleeve lower mount with a 14 mm sleeve ID and 1-11/16 inch sleeve overall length. Confirm the vehicle is a 1994-2002 Dodge Ram 2500 without 8,800 lb GVW or a 1994-2001 Dodge Ram 1500 front application before ordering the Monroe 37104.

The 37104 is built as a replacement shock absorber for the listed Dodge Ram front applications and is backed by Monroe’s product quality standards.
