Maxtrac 14-24 Ram 2500 4WD (W/ Factory Rear Air) Vulcan 8in Front / Rear Shocks W/ Reservoirs (Part #mxt947280VRA)

Your 8-Inch Lift Needs Real Shocks. These Are It.

You put an 8-inch lift on your Ram 2500. The truck looks killer. But it rides like a hay wagon. The factory shocks are maxed out. They cannot handle the extra travel. The back end bounces. The front end dives.These are the Maxtrac Vulcan 8-Inch Shocks. Part #mxt947280VRA. Front and rear set. With reservoirs. For Ram 2500s with factory rear air suspension.These are made for 8-inch lifts. Extended length. Collapsed length. Everything matches. No shortcuts. No adapters.

Why Reservoirs?

Shocks get hot when you drive hard. Heat kills shock oil. Thin oil means no damping. The truck bounces like a pogo stick. The reservoirs hold extra oil. They cool the shock. They keep it working. You feel the difference on dirt roads. You feel it on the highway.

Front And Rear Set

This is a complete set. Two front shocks. Two rear shocks. All four corners. Matching valving. Matching performance. The truck feels planted. No more nose dive. No more rear squat.

    Vulcan shocks with reservoirs are a huge upgrade. my Ram 2500 handles like it’s on rails now. Build quality feels like it’ll last forever.

  3. dakota szikszay

    Put the Maxtrac Vulcan reservoir shocks on my lifted 2500 before a desert wheeling trip and they performed flawlessly. High-speed desert driving that would have had my old shocks fading by the afternoon. These stayed consistent all day. The build quality is obvious the moment you hold them. Mounting hardware was included and the install was clean. Back home they’re just as good for towing my boat. These shocks truly do everything well.

  4. Leland Marchetti

    My 2500 does real work hauling equipment for my landscaping business and these Vulcan reservoir shocks have made a huge difference in ride control. Body roll while towing a loaded trailer is way more controlled than with the stock shocks. Reservoirs keep the shocks running cool even after long days of heavy use in the summer heat. Install was a direct bolt-on with no modifications needed. Rough job sites don’t rattle the cab nearly as much anymore. Money well spent for a work truck that sees abuse daily.

  5. Terrence Applewhite

    Picked up a second set of these Vulcan 8-inch shocks after seeing how well they worked on my buddy’s Ram. Towing my camper is a completely different experience now, way less porpoising over dips in the highway. The reservoir design noticeably reduces fade even after hours of driving on rough forest service roads. Bolted in place of the stock units without any drama, same mounting points throughout. Ride comfort unloaded is still smooth despite the heavier duty valving. Great upgrade for anyone who tows regularly with a 2500.
