Kyb Monomax for 2014 Ram 2500 4wd

[Dodger2014]

I know they make the Bilsteins for this truck but I had a set of Kyb's on my last truck and they were great. Problem is I have scoured the Internet and I cannot anywhere find a set of Monomax shocks for this truck. Do they not make them for this year and model?


thanks

Got a response from KYB and they do not make shocks for the 2014 models. They say that it is in the works though. Been this long I don't think it will happen. Oh well............

I'm glad they worked for you because I had a set of KYB Monomax shocks on my truck for about 1000 miles. Never did I feel a truck ride so incredibly stiff so I took them off. Even my dog hated the new ride and stopped wanting to ride in the bed. True story.....
The only reason I tried them was because the parts guy said that KYB replicated Bilsteins so they had to be the same or close. The experience also kept me from trying Bilsteins.

"Parts guy"...hmmm...(mwilson is excluded here of course)

I have no experience with KYB but lots with Bilstein and I've never been disappointed. The Bilsteins are firmer than stock but it's more of a controlled feel, not harsh.

Yeah.....it was a "parts guy" but we were looking at basic specs in comparison of each manufacture. It seemed legit at the time.....

That said, I've never talked bad about Bilsteins as I have no experience with them, only the KYB's. I hear good things about Bilsteins though so unless people are tolerant of harsh rides, they must be softer than the KYB's I tried out.

Last set of KYBs were stiff at first but after a few hundred miles they broke in well. I'll prob try the Bilsteins this time around. Heard good about them so.........
