TRQ Front and Rear Shock Absorber Set Compatible with Ram 1500

Our review of the TRQ Front and Rear Shock Absorber Set finds it best suited for Ram 1500 owners who need a direct OE replacement to restore factory ride characteristics. This 4 piece kit includes two front and two rear shock absorbers and is a straightforward, vehicle specific swap for multiple model years. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of correct fitment and improved ride quality reported by many customers, making it a practical, value-oriented option for those replacing worn dampers on rear wheel drive trucks without air suspension.

Key Features

• Direct Fit Replacement: The kit is designed to match OE mounting and damping characteristics so installation is simple and steering feel remains consistent.
• Complete 4 Piece Kit: Includes two front and two rear shock absorbers so the entire vehicle damping system can be refreshed in one service visit.
• Vehicle Specific Fitment: Fitment covers many Ram 1500 and Dodge Ram years when used on rear wheel drive trucks without air suspension, avoiding fitment guesswork.
• Aftermarket Reference Coverage: Multiple OEM and aftermarket reference numbers are provided so compatibility with original parts and other brands can be verified.
• Value-Oriented Option: Customers report improved ride quality and a noticeable restoration of comfort for less cost than OEM shocks.

Who It's For

This set is ideal for owners of 2009-2010 Dodge Ram 1500, 2011-2018 Ram 1500, or 2019-2020 1500 Classic who have rear wheel drive trucks without air suspension and need all four shocks replaced at once. It suits DIY mechanics and independent shops that prefer parts labelled as OE replacement with clear aftermarket reference numbers.

Owners looking for heavy duty, off-road tuned shocks or trucks equipped with air suspension should look elsewhere, since this kit is intended as a direct replacement for standard rear wheel drive setups and is not an upgraded performance or air-suspension component.
