EFS MRP 2.5 front shock absorber, 50 mm lift — RAM 1500 DT from 2019
A RAM 1500 DT is heavy to begin with, and once a bar, a winch and gear go on, the standard damping stops keeping up — especially on a long gravel run where the shock never gets a chance to cool.
This EFS MRP 2.5 unit answers that with hardware: a 2.5-inch monotube, a finned remote canister, 50 mm of lift and damping set by dial — 24 compression clicks and up to 36 rebound settings.
Vehicle RAM 1500 DT from 01.2019 | Lift 2" (50 mm) | Adjustment 24 compression / 36 rebound |
Key benefits
- 24 compression settings — a dial on the reservoir changes the damping character without removing anything from the car.
- Up to 36 rebound settings — you decide how fast the wheel returns to the ground after a hit, which is how much grip you keep on gravel.
- Heavily finned remote canister — the oil runs cooler, and cooler oil holds consistent damping far longer on a long corrugated stage.
- Monotube layout allows a larger piston, which translates into extra control over suspension movement.
- Zinc-plated seamless steel body and a solid aluminium top hat — built for salt, mud and years of service.
- Fully serviceable: it can be stripped, rebuilt and re-gassed instead of being thrown away.
- Rated for an additional 50-110 kg on the front axle — real headroom for accessories, not a figure for an empty truck.

Who it is for
For a RAM 1500 DT that does not spend its life in a car park: trips, towing, heavy front-end accessories and roads that use the full travel of the suspension. The 50 mm of lift buys clearance, and the adjustment lets you tune the damping to the actual load.
It pays off on mixed long-distance runs — a calm truck on the highway, front-end control on gravel. Here the two are not mutually exclusive, because the settings change by dial in a couple of minutes.
Fitting and notes
- The price covers one piece — a full front axle takes two of these.
- Register the shock with the manufacturer after purchase: scan the QR code from the instructions in the box and fill in the form. Without registration the extended warranty cannot be activated.
- The extension runs through servicing: the first service before 2 years and 100,000 km adds 2 years and 50,000 km, a second one before the next 2 years and 50,000 km takes the total up to 6 years.
- Set compression and rebound after fitting, to suit the load the vehicle actually carries — both dials stay accessible.
- Any change of front ride height is a good reason to check the alignment; our workshop can do it together with the fitting.
Why choose it
- A 2.5" monotube with a remote canister keeps damping consistent exactly where a standard shock in a heavy pickup fades first.
- 24/36-click adjustment and a finned remote canister are competition-grade hardware applied to a loaded daily 4x4.
- Full serviceability plus a warranty of 2 years or 100,000 km, extendable up to 6 years — this is a component bought for years, not for one season.
