• Heavy-Duty Body: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during heavy work cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured to operate correctly on vehicles already equipped with 0-2 inches of rear lift.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55136_n748) includes two rear shocks for a complete axle installation.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable for off-roading; if the outer tube is dented by a rock, the inner cylinder is protected, allowing the shock to remain functional.
