Frequently Asked Questions

How do I adjust the firmness of these shocks?
The shocks feature an easy-to-use 9-position knob at the base of the shock body that can be turned by hand to increase or decrease damping resistance.

Do these shocks create 1.5 inches of lift?
No, these shocks are specifically configured for vehicles that already have 1.5 inches of rear lift to ensure the piston operates within the correct travel range.

What is the benefit of the large 2.75-inch body?
The larger body houses more fluid, which helps dissipate heat more efficiently than standard shocks, preventing “shock fade” during long trips or heavy hauling.
