FAQ
What vehicles is this shock absorber compatible with?
It fits 2011-2023 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD, 3500 HD, GMC Sierra 2500 HD, and 3500 HD models. Always verify compatibility using your vehicle’s year, make, model, engine, and trim before purchase.
How does the Progressive Engagement Valving work?
This valving is custom-tuned to absorb initial impacts at low speeds, reducing harshness and providing a smoother ride by gradually engaging the damping force.
Can these shocks handle off-road conditions?
Yes, with features like Cross Tuned technology and durable materials, they are designed to improve control and performance in both on-road and off-road environments.
What is the benefit of the nitro-carburized piston rod?
It enhances resistance to rust and scuffing, extending the shock’s lifespan and maintaining performance in corrosive or abrasive conditions.
How does the nitrogen gas pressurization help?
By pressurizing to 150 PSI, it minimizes air and oil mixing, which reduces damping fade and foaming for consistent performance over time.
