• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The nitrogen-charged twin-tube body provides increased fluid capacity and dent resistance to ensure long-term durability in harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my GMC V3500?
No, these shocks do not create lift; they are specifically valved and length-configured to accommodate vehicles with 0 to 2 inches of front lift height.

How does the twin-tube design benefit my truck?
The twin-tube design is highly durable for off-roading; if the outer tube is dented by a rock, the inner cylinder remains functional so you can finish your trail ride.

What does it mean if my truck has “Quad Suspension”?
These shocks are not compatible with models equipped with the factory quad shock option (two shocks per side). They are designed for standard single-shock-per-wheel configurations.
