In this review the reviewer examines the 4 piece shock absorber set compatible with 2013-2018 Ram 3500 trucks and finds it best suited for owners who want a straightforward, direct-fit replacement that restores a worn suspension. The bottom line: for anyone running a Crew Cab, Regular Cab, or Extended Crew Cab Ram 3500 without air suspension, this kit delivers an easy swap and noticeably improved ride quality, making it a practical choice for routine replacement or restoring drivability.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes two front and two rear shock absorbers so the truck gets a full, matched replacement set in one purchase, avoiding mix-and-match issues.
• Direct fit components: Pre-assembled parts are designed as direct replacements for the original equipment, which saves installation time and eliminates the need for modifications.
• Broad reference coverage: The product lists many reference numbers so technicians can cross-check part equivalence and confirm compatibility with the vehicle.
• Compatibility focus: Specifically made for 2013-18 Ram 3500 models without air suspension, which reduces the guesswork when selecting shocks for those trims.
• Improved ride quality: Multiple owners report the set restores a softer, more controlled ride compared with worn original shocks, especially on highway driving and light load conditions.

Who It's For

This set is aimed at Ram 3500 owners (2013 through 2018) who need a simple replacement for worn or failed shocks and want a matched front and rear set that installs without custom work. It fits Crew Cab, Regular Cab, and Extended Crew Cab versions provided the truck does not have air suspension.

Drivers seeking heavy-duty, long-term performance under severe towing or off-road use should consider OEM heavy duty or purpose-built suspension upgrades, since some users report mixed durability and perceived softness under heavy loads.
