• Compatible with both standard gas and eTorque Mild Hybrid (MHEV) powertrain variants across all supported model years
• 2026 Express is confirmed for 4WD gas models (new trim introduced for 2026)

Features

• Pre-assembled loaded strut design combines the strut body, coil spring, and upper mount in a single ready-to-install unit - eliminates the need for a spring compressor or separate assembly
• 2-inch front lift height delivers a leveled, more aggressive front stance that eliminates the factory rake while maintaining proper suspension geometry and ride quality
• Vehicle-specific damping tune calibrated for the 2019-2026 Ram 1500's weight, suspension travel, and geometry - delivers factory-smooth ride quality rather than the harsh feel common to underdamped or universal-fit struts
• Gas-charged monotube construction provides consistent, fade-free damping performance through repeated compression and rebound cycles on-road and off
• OEM-matching upper and lower mount interfaces bolt directly to the factory strut mounting locations - no cutting, drilling, or modification required
• Granite metallic powder coat finish provides long-term corrosion resistance against road salt, moisture, and trail debris
• Can be used as a standalone 2-inch front leveling solution without additional Zone Offroad lift components
• Engineered and manufactured in the USA by Zone Offroad, a division of Sport Truck USA / FOX Factory
• Backed by a 1-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship

Product Description

The Zone Offroad ZOND4202 is a 2-inch Nitro Loaded Strut designed specifically for the 2019-2026 Ram 1500 4WD. As a fully pre-assembled loaded strut - integrating the strut body, coil spring, and upper mount into a single unit - it installs as a direct replacement for the factory strut without requiring a spring compressor, separate spring selection, or additional assembly work. The 2-inch lift height levels the DT-generation Ram 1500's factory rake, creating a flat, aggressive stance while simultaneously adding ground clearance and enabling the fitment of slightly larger tires. Unlike the 4-inch version (ZOND4402), the ZOND4202 is not restricted to use within a complete Zone Offroad lift kit - it can function as a standalone 2-inch front leveling solution, making it suitable for owners who want a clean, leveled look without a full system lift.

Each strut is valved to a vehicle-specific damping tune matched to the Ram 1500's platform weight and suspension geometry, delivering a ride quality that tracks closely with the factory feel rather than the over-sprung or underdamped response common in less sophisticated aftermarket struts. The gas-charged construction maintains consistent damping performance through repeated cycles without fade, whether the truck is being driven daily on paved roads or pushed across rougher surfaces on weekends. The OEM-style upper and lower mounts bolt directly into the factory strut locations, and the granite metallic powder coat protects against long-term corrosion in road salt and wet environments. Installation requires standard strut removal tools and is suitable for qualified mechanics.

The ZOND4202 covers the full DT-generation Ram 1500 lineup from 2019 through 2026, spanning trims from Tradesman through Limited Longhorn and including the 2026-exclusive Express trim. It is compatible with all gas and eTorque Mild Hybrid powertrain variants across supported model years, including the 3.6L Pentastar V6 eTorque, 5.7L Hemi V8 eTorque, 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 (2019-2023), and 3.0L Hurricane I6 (2025-2026). Sold individually - order quantity 2 to complete the front axle. Each strut is backed by a 1-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
