Monroe® Magnum™ shock absorbers for Class 6-8 Vehicles are the first gas-charged, large-bore shocks specifically designed for air spring and taper leaf suspensions. The nitrogen gas charge provides the fast response essential for today's heavy truck suspension systems and the extra-large piston bore is engineered to handle the demands of high mileage and severe use.

• Robust Hydraulic Lock-Out: Prevents over-extension of the suspension, top-out of the piston and averts damage to the seal assembly (on most applications)
• PTFE Coated Bearing: Reduces friction during operation between the rod and rod guide, improving durability (on most applications)
• Shouldered Bushings: Shouldered bushing and bonded bushing with sleeve designs prevent bushing walkout for improved quality and durability (on most applications)
• Nitrogen Gas-Charged: For improved ride and handling. Helps maintain tire to road contact by reducing aeration
• Loop Welding Technique: Provides up to 14,100 lbs. (6,395 kg) tensile strength for maximum durability
• Larger Reserve Tube: More fluid for more consistent performance (on most applications)
• Larger Bore: Provides more consistent control (on most applications)
• 5/8" (16 mm) Diameter Piston Rod: Nitrocarburized design is more environmentally friendly and maintains chrome structural benefits without affecting durability or use life of the rod. Sintered iron design allows for more precise piston dimensions, requiring no additional components for exceptional fit (on most applications)
• .05" Pressure Tube withstands pressure of 9KPSI (on most applications)
• 10-stage valving: Reacts to a wide range of driving conditions (on most applications)
• All weather fluid: Contains special modifiers to reduce frictions and ensure smooth rod reaction
• Single lip, low-friction oil seal
