Class 6-8 Vehicle Shock Absorbers
The Monroe® Magnum™ shock absorber is the first gas-charged, large bore shock specifically designed for air spring and taper leaf suspensions. Its nitrogen gas charge provides the fast response essential for today’s heavy truck suspension systems. Its extra-large piston bore is engineered to handle the demands of high mileage and severe use. When combined, the gas charge and large bore provide the consistent control necessary for demanding truck suspensions.

Robust Hydraulic Lock-Out
Robust Hydraulic Lock-Out
Prevents over-extension of the suspension, top-out of the piston and averts damage to the seal assembly. *When required
PTFE Coated Bearing
PTFE Coated Bearing
Reduces friction during operation between the rod and rod guide, improving durability. *On most applications.
Tenneco Shouldered Bushings
Tenneco Shouldered Bushings
Resists bushing walkout for longer service life. *On most applications.
Nitrogen Gas Charged
Nitrogen Gas Charged
For improved ride and handling, helps maintain tire to road contact by reducing aeration. *On most applications.
.05-inch Pressure tube withstanding pressure of 9KPSI
.05-inch Pressure tube withstanding pressure of 9KPSI
Thicker pressure tube provides the ability to handle more severe road conditions.
2-3/8-inch (60.3 mm) Reserve Tube
2-3/8-inch (60.3 mm) Reserve Tube
More fluid for more consistent performance. *On most applications.
1-3/4-inch (44.6 mm) Bore
1-3/4-inch (44.6 mm) Bore
Larger bore gives accessibility to finer tune the valving by allowing more hydraulic fluid to dissipate heat for better vehicle control.
23/32-inch (18 mm) Piston Rod
23/32-inch (18 mm) Piston Rod
Heavy duty nitrocarburized design more environmentally friendly, maintaining chrome structural benefits, without effecting durability or use life of the rod. Sintered iron design allows for more precise piston dimensions, requiring no additional components for exceptional fit.
Loop Welding Technique
Loop Welding Technique
Resistance weld with additional 360-degree weld to provide up to 15,000 lbs. (6,804 kg) tensile strength for maximum durability. *When required.
10-Stage Valving
10-Stage Valving
Reacts to wide range of driving conditions. *On most applications.
All weather fluid
All weather fluid
Contains Special modifiers to reduce frictions and ensure smooth rod reaction.
Single-lip, low-friction oil seal
Single-lip, low-friction oil seal
“Self-lubricating” fluid seal designed to retain gas without excessive wear or friction.
