Description of Monroe 34985 Gas Magnum Truck Absorber

DESIGNED FOR TRUCKS AND VANS -- Engineered for hardworking full-size trucks and vans and features full-displaced valving on compression cycles to deliver controlled ride and handling. BUILT TO LAST -- Heavy-duty nitrocarburized rod (non-dust shield units only) and sintered iron piston enhance durability for longer service life while self-lubricating fluid seal reduces friction against piston rod to reduce wear. CONSISTENT RIDE -- OE all-weather fluid contains special modifiers to handle extreme temperatures and help reduce friction and ensure smooth rod reaction. IMPROVES PERFORMANCE -- Nitrogen gas-charge maintains tire-to-road contact for improved ride and handling by reducing aeration and shock fade. LONGER SERVICE LIFE -- Larger bore and bigger 2-in. reserve tube work together to hold more oil for greater capacity to allow the shock to work efficiently for controlled ride and longer service life. BUY WITH CONFIDENCE -- Comes with Monroe’s Limited Lifetime Warranty and exclusive Feel the Difference Guarantee.

Not Worth the Money for Automotive Struts

After trying this shock absorber on my truck I was extremely disappointed... while it was easy to install, it didn't improve my ride quality at all. In fact, it made it worse with a noticeable increase in noise and vibrations. The only positive aspect was that it did offer some level of durability. Overall, I would not recommend this product for anyone looking to upgrade their suspension system..

Pros
  • Durable and can provide a smoother ride for trucks under heavy load or towing conditions.
Cons
  • Almost everything is there

Impressive The difference in handling these iconic shocks compared to my 1995 Chevy 2500. If you've never installed your shocks, you don't know what you're missing out on.

Pros
  • BUILT FOR DURABILITY - Heavy-duty nitrocarburized skirt (no dust cover blocks only) and sintered iron pistons improve reliability and extend life, while the self-lubricating liquid seal reduces piston skirt friction and reduces wear
Cons
  • No Power
