Tuff Country 61269 - SX8000 Nitro Gas Shock (Single)
Product Details
Description
The Tuff Country 61269 SX8000 Nitro Gas Shock (Single) is a high‑performance, nitrogen‑charged shock designed for lifted trucks, SUVs, and Jeeps. It delivers a balanced ride for daily driving, towing, and off‑road adventures, helping you stay in control on varying terrain.
- Nitro gas charged: Pressurized nitrogen reduces shock fade under load and over rough surfaces, delivering quicker, more consistent response when you need it most.
- Twin-tube design: Durable construction provides steady damping and reliable performance across highway and off‑road conditions.
- Extended length: 26.5" extended length to maintain proper suspension geometry on lifted setups.
- Collapsed length: 16" collapsed length for compatibility with a range of ride heights and travel.
- 5/8" piston rod: Strong, smooth rod that resists bending and enhances durability during demanding driving.
- Polyurethane bushings: Long‑lasting, reduced noise, and improved durability in mounting areas.
- Installation hardware included: Ready-to-install components and spacers to simplify mounting (note: shock boots are not included).
- Vehicle fitment & lift guidance: Optimized for lifted Jeep and SUV applications, including 3.5" to 4" lift configurations, with compatibility noted for popular models from 1987–2006.
- Warranty: Backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty for lasting peace of mind.
The SX8000’s combination of nitrogen gas pressure and twin‑tube design translates to diminished fading during steep climbs, heavy braking, or towing duties, while its extended length helps preserve wheel travel on lifted suspensions. Polyurethane bushings dampen vibrations and keep noise to a minimum, so highway cruising stays comfortable without sacrificing off‑road control. Whether you’re daily driving, heading to the trails, or towing a weekend toy, this shock from Tuff Country brings reliable performance and durability to your rig, backed by a manufacturer warranty for confidence on the road ahead.
