Improvement over stock OE shocks for increased comfort & better handling, both on & off-road
These shocks provide the optimal combination of:
- Firm and stable handling for driving on desert and fire roads;
- Plush compliance while off-road driving over washboard;
- Strong ramping effect for extra bottom-out protection over large dips and washes;
- Maximum articulation and traction for rock climbing.
The 2.5 RESERVOIR model features adjustable spring preload (on coilover models only) for your specific driving style and terrain conditions. The external reservoir provides extra oil volume and displacement for smoother damping and to prevent damping fading. They come in either a piggyback or remote reservoir version, depending on your vehicle model, year and application.
