Product Details

Description

The Tuff Country SX8000 Nitro Gas Shock (Single) with Stem-To-Loop fittings delivers a balanced blend of highway comfort and off-road control for lifted trucks, SUVs, and Jeeps. Designed to work with stock and lifted setups, its long-stroke design and nitrogen charging help maintain consistent dampening across daily driving, towing, and trail use.

  • Dimensional Precision: 18 3/4" collapsed length and 31 1/4" extended length to accommodate lifted suspensions while maintaining proper geometry.
  • Nitro Gas Charged: Nitrogen gas pressure reduces fade under repeated loading, providing quicker, more predictable damping response.
  • Twin-Tube Construction: Durable, temperature-stable design that delivers steady performance across street and off-road conditions.
  • Stem-To-Loop Mount: Reliable mounting style suited to a wide range of 4WD suspensions for easier installation.
  • 5/8" Piston Rod: Strong, rigid rod that resists flex under load for consistent dampening and longevity.
  • Polyurethane Bushings: Durable bushings help minimize noise and vibration while improving control.
  • White Finish: White-coated body for corrosion resistance and a clean, OEM-friendly look on lifted rigs.
  • Optimized for Stock & Lifted Vehicles: Engineered to perform well on factory height as well as lifted applications, including setups around a 4" lift height.
  • Warranty: Backed by a limited lifetime warranty for long-term confidence in your dampening performance.
  • Boot Note: Shock boots are not included with this shock, an important installation detail to plan for.

The SX8000 shocks are crafted to deliver highway comfort without sacrificing off-road capability. The nitrogen-charged design minimizes fading during repeated steering and braking, so you’ll experience steadier handling whether you’re towing a trailer, carving a dirt trail, or cruising on the highway. The twin-tube construction, combined with polyurethane bushings, provides durable, quiet performance that stands up to daily driving and weekend adventures. This single shock is sold individually (most applications require two), and its stem-to-loop end fittings simplify installation on compatible 4WD platforms.
