Description

Tuff Country 61331 SX8000 Nitro Gas Shock (Single) with Loop-to-Loop mounting is engineered for lifted trucks, SUVs, and Jeeps that demand a balanced blend of on‑road comfort and off‑road capability. With a 19 1/4" collapsed length and 33 1/4" extended length, this nitrogen‑gas shock is designed to provide confident handling and reliable damping for daily driving, towing, and rugged trails.

  • Loop-to-loop mounting: Secure, compatible installation for lifted suspensions and common mounting configurations.
  • Nitro gas charged: Reduces fade under repeated compression and delivers quicker, more consistent shock response.
  • Twin-tube design: Durable construction that helps dissipate heat and maintain performance under load.
  • Extended length: 33 1/4" of travel to maximize wheel articulation on lifted setups.
  • Collapsed length: 19 1/4" to fit within the vehicle’s available stowage and travel.
  • 5/8" piston rod: Strong, rigid rod for improved durability and resistance to bending under heavy use.
  • Polyurethane bushings: Longevity and quieter operation in both daily driving and off-road conditions.
  • Optimized for ~4" lift: Specifically tuned to deliver balanced handling on common 4-inch lift configurations.
  • Boots not included: Shock boots are not included with this shock, so plan accordingly for dirt and debris protection.
  • Limited Lifetime Warranty: Built to last with a warranty that backs the life of the vehicle under normal use.
  • Sold individually: Priced per shock; most applications require two shocks for complete performance.

The SX8000 Nitro Gas shock delivers a smoother highway ride with controlled response, helping maintain stability during towing and cornering while still offering the flex and traction needed for off‑road adventures. Nitrogen charging minimizes fade during repeated hits, so handling remains predictable as you traverse rough terrain. The twin‑tube design and polyurethane bushings strike a practical balance between performance and durability, reducing noise and wear over time. With a 4" lift optimization, this shock pairs well with common suspension upgrades, ensuring you get consistent dampening without compromising ride quality. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, it’s a reliable choice for drivers who value both daily comfort and weekend capability.
