- SHOCK BOOT PAIR -
We suggest using shock boots if you live in extreme weather conditions, harsh winters with road salt, muddy conditions, etc.
- Sold as a pair.
- Small shock boot fits 2.0" diameter shocks, steering dampers, our Overland shocks, and most twin-tube shocks.
- Large shock boots to fit 2.5" diameter shocks, and can squeeze over 3.0" shocks, too.
Thuren's King 2.5" shock package is a great option for those looking to build a custom tuned suspension setup for their Dodge Ram 2500/3500 4x4. Please specify the height and desired valving profile. These shocks are built to order and typically have a 20 week or more lead time.
INCLUDES
-Thuren Fabrication Fabricated Shock Towers
-King Remote Reservoir 2.5 Front Shocks
-King Piggyback 2.5" Rear Shocks
-Reservoir Mounts & All Required Hardware
VALVING OPTIONS
STAGE ONE - Rides unbelievable on the highway and performs great on mild gravel roads. Valving is light enough to completely absorb even the largest potholes, highway expansion joints, etc. This valving profile excels on small, choppy terrain. Stage one front valving is the lightest valving Thuren has, and it can still bottom out easily once you get more aggressive off road. Comfort and possible speed off road are still about double what is possible with stock shocks.
STAGE FIVE - An axle truss is pretty much mandatory at this point to use this valving to its potential. With this much valving, the suspension does not absorb the smaller bumps as easily as it is designed to really resist bottoming out. Large potholes and small speed bumps are now about the same feel as the stock suspension, but still get absorbed with enough speed. The highway ride is more balanced than stock, but has about the same feel on average.

VALVING OPTIONS
STAGE ONE - Rides unbelievable on the highway and performs great on mild gravel roads. Valving is light enough to completely absorb even the largest potholes, highway expansion joints, etc. This valving profile excels on small, choppy terrain. Stage one front valving is the lightest valving Thuren has, and it can still bottom out easily once you get more aggressive off road. Comfort and possible speed off road are still about double what is possible with stock shocks.
STAGE TWO - Highway ride is still top notch but the suspension will now have a slight sports car type feel to it. Large potholes and ruts are absorbed the same as stage one, but the smaller holes and bumps have a bit more entry feeling. Off road performance and bottom out resistance are increased about 10% from stage one.
STAGE THREE - This is the most common valving profile Thuren uses. Highway ride is still much better than stock, and with the right components, the off road performance increase is huge. Large potholes, curb-sized bumps, rutted dirt roads, and small sand whoops are no problem. More speed equals more force to push through the valving and smooth out the ride in this type of terrain.
STAGE FOUR - This is where the off road performance really increases. With this valving profile, it is time to start considering an axle truss if running the truck hard, as the off road speeds attained can let the really big hits come up quickly. On road ride is still better than stock all around while the truck will begin to feel more firm on larger potholes and bumps compared to stage three.
STAGE FIVE - An axle truss is pretty much mandatory at this point to use this valving to its potential. With this much valving, the suspension does not absorb the smaller bumps as easily as it is designed to really resist bottoming out. Large potholes and small speed bumps are now about the same feel as the stock suspension, but still get absorbed with enough speed. The highway ride is more balanced than stock, but has about the same feel on average.
STAGE SIX - This valving profile is pretty much focused on race speed off road performance. Smaller square edge bumps will be pronounced, but the bigger rollers and whoops just want more speed. Large sand whoops can be skipped across with the correct line and skill. This valving can test the limits of any driver and let the truck obtain jaw dropping speed in the rough. To drive your Dodge Ram at the limits of this valving will require vast off rod driving skill and experience. Highway ride is compromised when contacting large potholes and bumps, but freeway expansion joints are still more balanced than stock.

With each order, we discuss the specific needs of the customer. It's important to discuss details like highway ride, terrain, specific vehicle components, and off-road desires before purchasing
Our wide range of valving options has been developed over years of research, theory, and real-world testing technology found in the latest Motocross shock internals and adapting that design to allow heavy Dodge Diesel Trucks to perform like no other pickup out there.
Every internal shock design has had focus placed on giving the best ride for everyday driving and smaller terrain as well as adding control and resisting bottoming out on the larger impacts.
By strategically placing multiple valving zones inside the shock and creating a true speed-sensitive valving setup. Smaller impacts utilize the soft-zone valving while larger impacts push through this zone and use the stiffer tuned zone(s).
This type of valving is specific to each individual vehicle and requires precision down to the last .001” Shim. This level of performance is unmatched and will not be found on an off-the-shelf universal “race” shock.
- Stage One - On highway performance is smooth and responsive. Valving is also light enough to completely absorb large potholes, highway expansion joints, and excels on small choppy terrain.
Because Stage One Valving is the lightest setup offered, it can still bottom out as you drive more aggressively off-road. Performance, comfort, and speed will double over that of the stock shock setup.
- Stage Two - Top notch highway performance with a sports-car-like feel can be achieved with this level of valving. Large potholes, whoops, and ruts will be absorbed easily. However, the smaller bumps will have an entry-level feel to them with this setup.
Off-road performance and bottoming resistance is roughly 10% over that of Stage One Valving.
- Stage Three - This is the most common valving design we use and often is the most requested. With the right components to complement this valving setup, the performance gains could be huge! There is no comparison to the stock configuration with stage 3 valving.
Large potholes, curb-sized bumps, rutted dirt roads, and sand whoops are no longer a problem. More speed is required to push through the stiffer valving offered here and therefore smoothing out the ride over this type of terrain.
- Stage Four - This level of tuning is where the off-road performance really increases and desires speed to do so. It is strongly recommended to install an Axle Truss on your truck at this point due to increased speeds and higher impacts that come up quickly.
On-road performance is far better than a stock configuration but will start to feel more firm on the large potholes and bumps in comparison to Stage Three valving.
- Stage Five - An Axle Truss is mandatory at this point simply due to the potential speeds that are required to utilize this level of valving. With this level of valving the smaller bumps are not absorbed as easily however bottoming out is heavily resisted.
Large potholes and small speed bumps will have the same feel as the stock setup but will be soaked up with speed to push through the valving configuration. The highway feel will be well balanced but still resemble that of a stock truck setup.
- Stage Six - This is where the Race Speed Performance enters the game. Smaller square-edged bumps will be more pronounced but the bigger whoops and rollers crave more speed. Larger sand whoops can be skipped across the top with the right application of skill, speed, and line choice.
Stage Six valving can truly test the skill of any driver and allow your truck to obtain jaw-dropping speeds in the roughest of terrain. Driving your Dodge Ram at the speeds applicable to this valving will require immense off-road driving skill, experience, and supporting component upgrades.
Highway driving is compromised when contacting large potholes and bumps but freeway expansion joints are still more balanced over stock suspension.
