Rancho RS7MT Front Shock for Ram

The Rancho RS7MT monotube shock absorber is application tuned for front suspension control on Ram trucks that need stable on-road response and consistent off-road damping. Part number RS77197 is built for vehicles with 0″ lift applications listed below, including Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 front fitments.

RS7MT Series Details

The RS7MT line focuses on heat dissipation, which matters when a truck sees repeated suspension movement, larger wheel and tire packages, or rough terrain. This Rancho RS77197 shock also uses an integrated dirt wiper sealing system, a hardened piston rod for scuff and corrosion resistance, and an internal rebound bumper to help smooth suspension return over uneven surfaces.

• Monotube shock absorber design for front suspension use
• Application tuned for on-road and off-road handling
• 2-inch reserve tube diameter
• 7.6 inches of travel length
• Integrated dirt wiper sealing system
• Hardened piston rod with corrosion resistance
• Internal rebound bumper for smoother suspension recovery
• Upper stem mount and lower loop bushing & sleeve mount

Fitment and Cross References

This part cross-references KYB 5540019 for the same application.

What This Shock Helps Address

• Front-end bounce or unsettled ride quality on Ram trucks
• Heat buildup during repeated suspension cycling
• Dirt and debris intrusion around the shock shaft
• Scuffing or corrosion on the piston rod
• Harsh rebound over washboard roads, trails, or uneven pavement

Installation Notes

Verify front suspension configuration, lift height, and model-year fitment before installation. RS77197 uses a stem upper mount and a loop bushing and sleeve lower mount, so confirm mount style and sleeve dimensions against the vehicle before ordering. For Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 front applications, match the listed year range and suspension notes exactly to the truck.

Quality Assurance

Rancho RS7MT shocks are built around a monotube construction that supports heat dissipation and consistent damping performance. The RS77197 part number is engineered for the listed Ram and Dodge applications and follows Ranchos RS7MT design standards for front suspension control.
