If you’re serious about hitting the trails, you’ll want to check out these ADS Mesa 2.5-inch rear shock absorbers. I’ve had my hands on these for a while now, and let me tell you, they’re built to take a beating. The shock body is made from UV-stable ceramic powder-coated steel, so you know it’s tough enough to handle whatever nature throws at you. Plus, the black anodized billet aluminum caps add a nice touch of durability and style.

One thing that really stands out is the hard-chrome plated steel shock shafts. They resist corrosion like a champ, which is a big deal if you’re out there in the mud and muck. The spacers are made from 304 stainless steel, which just adds another layer of toughness. And don’t worry about performance—these shocks are filled with premium full synthetic shock oil and feature an internal floating piston (IFP). This means you get consistent damping performance and improved responsiveness, making your ride much smoother.

The large bore 2.50-inch shock body is a game changer, too. It holds more fluid, which helps resist shock fade, giving you that extra edge when you’re off-roading. And if you ever need to refresh them, they’re fully rebuildable—so you can keep them running strong for years to come.

Now, if you’re thinking about upgrading your suspension system, these shocks are a solid choice. They’re designed for a lift range of 2.5 to 4 inches, making them perfect for Ford F-250 and F-350 4WD models from 1999 to 2016. Just imagine how much better your truck will handle with these bad boys installed.

And while you’re at it, don’t forget to check out some other essentials for your off-road build. Pair these shocks with a performance exhaust from Flowmaster or some heavy-duty differential covers from B&M, and you’ll be ready for anything.
