If you're looking to give your Jeep Wrangler, Ford F-150, or GM 2500 a serious upgrade, you might want to check out these bolt-on suspension solutions. I’ve been using these premium shock absorbers, and let me tell you, they’re built to last while delivering some serious performance on and off the road.
The shock body is made from a UV-stable ceramic powder-coated steel, which not only looks great but stands up to the elements like a champ. The top and bottom caps are crafted from black anodized billet aluminum, adding to the overall strength and durability. You won’t have to worry about corrosion either, thanks to the hard-chrome plated steel shock shafts and spacers made from 304 stainless steel. These features really set these shocks apart, especially if you’re planning on tackling some rugged terrain.
One of the standout features is the internal floating piston (IFP). This little guy helps maintain consistent damping performance, which means you get better responsiveness and longer-lasting reliability. The large bore 2.50-inch shock body increases fluid capacity, effectively resisting shock fade during those long off-road adventures. Trust me, it makes a noticeable difference when you're pushing your vehicle to the limits.
Installation is straightforward—these shocks are a direct fit, so you won’t need any fancy modifications to get them on your ride. Plus, they’re fully rebuildable, which is a huge bonus if you're looking to keep your vehicle in top shape for years to come. And, let’s not forget, they’re made right here in America with American components. It feels good to support local manufacturing while getting a premium product at a competitive price.
Here's a quick rundown of what you can expect:
As for the specs, these shocks are passive with a smooth body design and a travel length of 5 inches. They’re gas charged, and with a compressed length of 13.75 inches and an extended length of 18.75 inches, they fit a variety of setups without a hitch. The valving is progressive, which adds to the overall performance and handling.
These shocks fit a range of vehicles, including:
All in all, if you're looking to enhance your vehicle's suspension system, these shocks are worth considering. They’ve made a noticeable difference in my ride, and I think you’ll appreciate the upgrade too.
