Choosing an adjustable reservoir shock

An adjustable reservoir shock lets you change damping for load, terrain and tire size, which matters on a heavy vehicle that moves between pavement and trail. The reservoir gives the oil room to cool, so the shock keeps its feel through longer descents. When you adjust, change one setting at a time and drive the same stretch of road to judge the effect.

Before buying, compare the extended length, collapsed length and stroke with the shock you are replacing, because a unit that is too long or too short will bind or bottom out. Related parts often wear at the same time, including bushings, hose clamps and the bump stops. Replacing a pair keeps both sides of the axle responding alike, and a worn unit often shows as fade, leaking seals or a rocking body.
