Outback Kitters 2.5" Reservoir Shocks for Ram 1500 DS (2013+)

Control The Heat. Control The Track.

A loaded Ram 1500 DS can cover serious ground.

Corrugations. Long highway stretches. Remote station tracks. The kind of driving that builds heat inside a shock long before the destination comes into view.

As temperatures climb, ordinary shocks begin to lose damping. The truck starts to float. Body movement increases. Control fades when you need it most.

The Outback Kitters 2.5" Remote Reservoir Suspension was engineered to keep that from happening.

The remote reservoir isn't there for appearance. It's there to manage heat.

By increasing oil capacity and adding a finned external reservoir, these shocks maintain consistent damping under sustained punishment, helping your Ram stay composed over the long haul.

For drivers who travel further, carry more and expect their suspension to perform from start to finish, this is the step beyond a conventional monotube.

Built For The Whole Trip. Not The First 20 Minutes.

Heat is what limits suspension performance.

Every compression forces oil through the shock valving, creating heat. Over hundreds of kilometres of corrugations, that heat builds quickly. As damping fades, the truck becomes unsettled and driver fatigue increases.

The Outback Kitters remote reservoir provides greater oil capacity and additional cooling surface area, allowing the shock to manage heat more effectively throughout the journey.

The result is suspension that stays composed when the track won't quit.

Why It Works

Remote Reservoir Thermal Management

The finned external reservoir increases oil capacity and cooling surface area, helping maintain consistent damping under sustained load and prolonged corrugated roads.

2.5" Front Coilovers

Complete front coilover assemblies provide improved support, control and ride quality while delivering dependable suspension performance for touring and lifted applications.

Custom Valved For American Trucks

Purpose-built valving is specifically tuned for the weight and suspension characteristics of the Ram 1500 DS, delivering controlled handling on and off the road.

Large 2.5" Zinc-Plated Steel Body

The large-diameter body carries more suspension oil for improved thermal stability, while the zinc-plated finish provides excellent corrosion resistance.

Flexible Reservoir Mounting

Long reservoir hoses and rotating hose heads allow straightforward installation and optimal reservoir placement for airflow and cooling.

Protected For Australian Conditions

Rubber boots help protect the shock shaft from stones, mud and debris encountered during remote touring.

Engineered For The Long Haul

The Outback Kitters 2.5" Remote Reservoir Suspension is built for Ram owners who understand that the real test of a shock isn't how it performs leaving the driveway—it's how it performs after hours of relentless corrugations with a fully loaded touring setup.

Whether you're carrying a canopy, drawers, recovery gear, water, camping equipment or towing a caravan, these shocks deliver the thermal headroom needed to keep your truck planted, composed and predictable all day long.

More oil. More cooling. More consistency.

Control The Heat. Keep Driving.
