Gas charged shock basics
Gas charged shocks use a pressurized chamber to keep damping consistent as the oil heats up during extended use. The gas helps resist foaming, so the shock keeps a steadier feel on washboard roads and long grades. Reservoir designs add a separate chamber that gives the oil more room, which many drivers prefer for sustained off road use.
A CD adjuster changes compression damping, so you can firm or soften the front or rear response without swapping units. Before adjusting, record the original setting so you can return to it if the ride changes. Over time, worn bushings, leaking seals or a tired gas charge can make even a good shock feel unsettled. Inspect the body and mounts regularly and replace the unit when damping no longer controls the tires.

Vehicle fitment
This shock carries a universal fit designation, with no make, model or year identified, so fitment is not established by the part itself. Confirm the match against your vehicle before choosing it.
A direct replacement shock has to match the length and mounting of the original, so measure that before choosing. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
