It is designed for 4.5 inches of front lift on most Ram 2500 submodels and on the Ram 3500, and for 2.5 inches of front lift on the Ram 2500 Power Wagon and Ram 2500 Rebel. The shock features a 6063 anodized aluminum body with an internal reservoir and a 5\/8-inch chrome-plated hardened steel shaft. It is sold as a single front shock absorber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-shipping-note\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e ICON parts ship direct from ICON Vehicle Dynamics, mostly by UPS Ground. Lead times vary by part and some items are built to order, so please allow extra time.

The damping curve is calibrated for the Ram 2500 and Ram 3500's actual weight, geometry, and lift height, so the shock works correctly from the first mile rather than requiring break-in compromise. Premium 5WT shock oil maintains consistent damping across a wide temperature range, keeping behavior predictable whether the truck is running hot desert two-track or cold mountain pavement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAluminum Construction Built to Dissipate Heat and Resist Corrosion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 6063 anodized aluminum body and reservoir tubing shed heat faster than steel-bodied shocks, which matters on extended off-road runs where repeated compression cycles build internal temperature. The 6061 aluminum rod end, top cap, and internals reduce unsprung weight without sacrificing strength. A 5\/8-inch chrome-plated hardened steel shaft resists corrosion and surface pitting that would otherwise degrade the shaft seal over time. Polyurethane bushings, zinc-plated sleeves, and forged steel mounting stems are designed for OE-style fitment so installation uses factory mounting points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRebuildable and Revalveable for Long-Term Value\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery V.S. 2.0 Aluminum Series shock is 100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable. After high-mileage use, or when driving style or terrain changes, the shock can be serviced and retuned rather than replaced outright. A nitrile rubber top-out bumper prevents metal-to-metal contact at full extension and eliminates noise at the top of the stroke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNitrogen-charged monotube with internal reservoir:\u003c\/strong\u003e consistent damping and reduced fade under repeated cycling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVehicle-specific valving:\u003c\/strong\u003e one-piece linear\/digressive piston tuned for Ram 2500\/3500 geometry and lift height\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5\/8 in chrome-plated hardened steel shaft:\u003c\/strong\u003e corrosion and pit resistance for long seal life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6063 anodized aluminum body and reservoir tubing:\u003c\/strong\u003e heat dissipation and corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable:\u003c\/strong\u003e serviceable for changing conditions or high-mileage refresh\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOE-style mounting hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e polyurethane bushings, zinc-plated sleeves, and forged steel stems for factory-point installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e216530\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBody diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2.0 in aluminum (6063 anodized)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShaft diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e5\/8 in chrome-plated hardened steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eInternals\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e6061 aluminum rod end, top cap, and internals\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDesign\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNitrogen-charged monotube, internal reservoir\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShock oil\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePremium 5WT\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBushings\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePolyurethane with zinc-plated sleeves and forged steel mounting stems\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShipping weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e4 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eVehicle fitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2014–2026 Ram 2500 \/ 2013–2026 Ram 3500 (4WD only)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLift (most Ram 2500 submodels and Ram 3500)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e4.5 in front lift\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLift (Ram 2500 Power Wagon and Ram 2500 Rebel)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2.5 in front lift\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePosition\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFront\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eQuantity\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1 shock absorber\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThis shock suits 4WD Ram 2500 (2014–2026) and Ram 3500 (2013–2026) owners running a 4.5-inch front lift (or Ram 2500 Power Wagon and Rebel owners at 2.5 inches of front lift) who want a vehicle-tuned, rebuildable monotube upgrade over OE dampers for mixed street and off-road use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThis shock does not fit 2WD Ram 2500 or Ram 3500 models.
