2.25 Rear Monotube Shock Absorber

Fabtech’s Dirt Logic 2.25 rear monotube shock is engineered for drivers who demand superior performance on and off road. Designed to complement a 3.5″ lift on the 2019–2020 Ford Ranger 3.5 L, this precision-engineered shock absorbs rough terrain with ease, delivering refined damping control and a smoother ride under heavier loads and larger tires. Its durable stainless-steel body and NitroSteel® piston rod ensure long-lasting performance, while a pre-tuned valve stack provides predictable and composed handling right out of the box.

Key Features

• 2.0″ billet aluminum piston for smooth and responsive damping

• 7/8″ NitroSteel® black piston rod for enhanced strength and corrosion resistance

• Pre-tuned specifically for Fabtech suspension kits with larger tires

Install Difficulty Level

Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic mechanical skills—rear shocks can be replaced in about 30 minutes per side. Enthusiasts report it’s a “two‑bolt job — one top, one bottom” and no wheel alignment is required afterward. Minimal tools are needed: a jack (or truck suspension jacks), 15 mm & 17 mm sockets/wrenches, penetrating spray for rusty bolts, and optional torque wrench. No coil removal or special tools are required.

Vehicle Fitment

• 2019–2020 Ford Ranger, all trims (XL, XLT, Lariat)

• Engine: 3.5 L V6

• Requires Fabtech 3.5″ lift kit or compatible suspension setup
