Detailed Description

Monroe 911187 is a rear suspension shock absorber for the 2002-2008 Dodge Ram 1500, engineered for light truck use where body control matters under braking, cornering, and uneven pavement. The Reflex Light Truck Shock Absorber design uses ASD valving to vary damping response as conditions change, helping the rear suspension stay composed without adding unnecessary harshness. With a 16-inch compressed length, 26.5-inch extended length, and 10.5-inch travel, this shock matches the listed rear application and mounting style. This part cross-references KYB 344385 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Rear-end bounce after bumps or expansion joints
• Excessive body roll in a higher-riding truck
• Nose dive and rear instability during braking transitions
• Loose or unsettled rear suspension feel on the Dodge Ram 1500
• Worn shock performance that reduces ride control

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment by year, model, and mounting style before installation. This Monroe shock absorber uses loop bushing and sleeve mounts at both ends with LS47 upper and lower codes, so confirm sleeve dimensions against the vehicle’s existing hardware and suspension layout. Inspect surrounding bushings, brackets, and fasteners for wear before replacing the shock.

Quality Assurance

Monroe is a long-established suspension brand, and this part is listed with a limited lifetime warranty on the shock absorber for the specified application. Use Monroe 911187 when replacing the rear shock on a 2002-2008 Dodge Ram 1500 and when matching the listed dimensions and mount type.
