Need 2010 Ram 1500 shocks or struts? This page is catalog-backed ride control for the DS Ram 1500 (2009–2012 early DS), including 2010. It is not Ram 2500/3500, not the 2019+ DT, and it is not a van, Rebel, or TRX.
KYB Excel-G / Gas-a-Just / MonoMax and Gabriel Ultra / Guardian / HiJackers numbers below come from the U.S. KYB shocks & struts catalog and Gabriel 2018 application guide. Do not mix KYB Europe SKUs onto these rows. 2WD vs 4WD (and air vs coil on some trucks) still change the corner.

DS Ram 1500 (2009–2012 early DS) shock shop notes — 2010
2010 Ram 1500 shock/strut — DS early shop focus
Model-year 2010 sits in the DS early Ram 1500 window (2009–2012). It is not 2002–2008 DR/DH, not 2500/3500.
Catalog applications for DS early (2009–2012) often repeat the same SKUs across adjacent years in this generation — that is expected. This URL stays year-specific for 2010 with a self-canonical and year-locked heading/links. On-page catalog SKUs called out here include KYB 349110, KYB 554375, Gabriel G64044, KYB 565127, KYB 340028, KYB KG54342, Gabriel G51856, Gabriel G64043 — use only these rows (and the lists below), not torque charts we do not publish. Cross-shop the same model year: 2010 Ram 1500 suspension parts · 2010 Ram 1500 brake parts.
These are ride-control shop notes for the DS Ram 1500 that includes 2010. Numbers come from the KYB U.S. shocks/struts book and the Gabriel 2018 application guide we host under Catalogs — not from torque charts, and not from the KYB Europe PDF.
What usually brings people here
- Nose dive, hollow ride, or a wet shock body → front damper worn out. Start with the Front list on this page and match 2WD/4WD (and air vs coil on Rams) before you order.
- Rear sag under tow, cargo squat, or a floaty highway feel → rear shocks first. If Gabriel lists a HiJackers air shock for this truck, that is the load-assist path — not a substitute for broken leaf springs.
- Clunk that is not a ball joint or sway link → check upper strut mounts / bearing plates when the catalog lists them beside the strut row.
KYB vs Gabriel — how we pick a line
KYB Excel-G 349110 is the OE-style twin-tube daily driver; Gas-a-Just 554375 is the firmer high-pressure monotube when both appear for the same corner — pick one philosophy, don’t mix left/right. Gabriel Ultra G64044 is the main Gabriel damper line on this page.
While you’re in there
Replace dampers in axle pairs. Inspect bump stops and dust boots while the corner is apart. If the truck also clunks or wanders, see 2010 Ram 1500 suspension parts. If brakes are next, see 2010 Ram 1500 brake parts.
Shop notes only — not a service manual. Use the factory procedure or a Haynes/Chilton manual for wrench work, torque, and safety steps. Leave a comment with 2WD/4WD (and air vs coil if equipped) plus the symptom if you want a part-number check.

Under a 2010 Ram 1500, the one-trip damper cart is KYB 340028 / Gabriel G51856 + KYB 344385 / Gabriel G64044. order it all once, do it right. 2010 carts fail when you grab a 2WD damper for a 4WD truck — stick to the drive-type notes on this list. Year page 2010 stays distinct from 2011-ram-1500-shock-parts.

Fitment notes
These KYB and Gabriel numbers come from the U.S. KYB shocks & struts catalog and the Gabriel 2018 application guide (plus Gabriel HD only when a 1500 row appears). Year ranges in those books that cover 2010 are expanded onto this page. Mount/boot kits are omitted unless they rode beside a damper row we kept. Do not use KYB Europe application SKUs here. Skip 2500/3500, Mega Cab-only, SRT-10, Power Wagon, Rebel/TRX, and van rows. Air-suspension trucks still use passive aftermarket dampers only where the catalog does not send you to electronic/air OEM units.
