Monroe 911198 Shock Absorber - Front

Monroe Reflex Light Truck Shock Absorber 911198

The Monroe Reflex Light Truck Shock Absorber 911198 is built for front suspension use on select Ram heavy-duty trucks. It uses ASD valving that reacts to changing road inputs to help control body motion, especially on vehicles with a higher center of gravity.

Compatible with Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 front applications, this shock absorber is a direct-fit suspension service part for drivers replacing worn front shocks on work trucks and heavy-duty pickups. Monroe 911198 is also referenced by OE and aftermarket cross numbers for the same application.

Product Details

Monroe Reflex Light Truck Shock Absorber 911198 is engineered for front suspension service on Ram trucks that need controlled damping and stable ride response. The Reflex line focuses on managing impact energy in real time, which helps keep the truck composed over uneven pavement, load shifts, and braking transitions. This part measures 14.75 inches compressed, 21.38 inches extended, and provides 6.63 inches of travel.

Mounting details include a stem-style upper mount with a 2.5/8-inch stem length and 1/2-inch-13 thread pitch, plus a lower loop bushing and sleeve mount with a 14 mm sleeve ID and 1.11/16-inch sleeve OAL. Monroe 911198 cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 172286 and 182286 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive front-end dive during braking
• Body roll in taller light truck suspension setups
• Harsh impact response over broken pavement
• Reduced control from worn or leaking front shocks
• Uneven ride quality on Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 front suspension systems
