Key features
- Front position, direct fit
- Smooth body reservoir with CD adjuster
- Lift range w/2 – 3.5 in.
Choosing for trail or road use
Lift range matters more than most shoppers expect. A shock built for a w/2 – 3.5 in. lift is matched to that height, so a truck sitting well outside it may ride harshly or run short of travel. Measure your truck’s current front height before buying and compare it with the range this shock covers.
Reservoir shocks handle heat better than single-tube designs, which helps on long descents or sustained trail use. Pay attention to hose routing, since the reservoir needs clearance from tires, frame and steering components. If you run larger tires or aftermarket steering parts, check clearance before installing.
- Compare your front height with the lift range
- Check hose clearance from tires and steering parts
- Replace front shocks together
- Keep the CD setting noted when adjusting for terrain
