Front Tough Dog 40mm Bore Foam Cell Struts for Dodge Ram DS 1500
Tough Dog's award-winning Foam Cell struts are their most popular choice for all-around performance, built to tackle a wide range of driving conditions. Whether you’re heading off-road for a weekend adventure or using your Ram 1500 daily, these struts are designed to handle it all.
The Foam Cell technology makes a significant difference in performance. Featuring a micro-cellular foam insert, these struts help drastically reduce shock fade, ensuring reliable performance even on the roughest terrain. Cavitation and aeration, common issues that affect shock absorbers, are prevented by the Foam Cell insert. As shocks are pushed harder, the oil and gas in the outer chamber mix and form bubbles, which lowers the oil's viscosity and reduces shock efficiency. By using trapped gas micro-cells, the Foam Cell insert fills the void typically occupied by air or nitrogen, preventing bubbles from forming and maintaining consistent shock performance.
Key Features:
- Large 40mm internal bore (compared to the typical 35mm bore on most shocks)
- Twin-tube design for added strength and durability
- High-temperature fluid to ensure consistent performance under heat
- 18mm double chrome-plated rod for superior durability
- Additional welding on all eyes and studs for enhanced strength
- 10-stage velocity-sensitive valving for smooth and precise handling
- Rod wiper seal and multi-lip seal for better sealing and long-term reliability
- Hydraulic rebound stop for controlled movement and smoother operation
These struts are ideal for the front of all 2013–2020 Dodge Ram 1500 DS models, from standard height up to a 2"/50mm lift, providing improved handling, stability, and ride comfort both on and off the road.
