Description

The Tuff Country 68134 SX6000 rear shock absorber is built for 0" rear lift trucks and 4WD SUVs, delivering a balanced highway ride with capable off-road handling. Designed by Tuff Country for rugged reliability, it’s a dependable upgrade for daily driving and light off-road adventures.

  • Twin-tube design: Separate inner and outer tubes provide stable damping and consistent performance across varied terrains.
  • 5/8" piston rod: A robust piston rod enhances durability and precise shock action over time.
  • SX6000 cellular gas shock (hydraulic): Gas-charged, multi-stage valving smooths highway bumps while maintaining solid off-road control.
  • 0" lift fitment: Specifically tuned for 0" rear lift applications with a collapsed length of 16" and an extended length of 26.5" to preserve factory geometry.
  • Poly bushings: Designed to absorb vibrations and reduce wear on mounting points for longer life.
  • Boots not included: Shock boots are not included with this shock—plan accordingly if you prefer extra dust protection.
  • Hardware and fitment notes: Shocks are sold individually; most applications require two shocks for proper installation; backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
  • Vehicles designed to fit: Compatible with 1988–1998 Chevy/GMC 1500/2500/3500 4WD and 1991–1994 Ford Explorer 4WD models configured for 0" lift.

Experience a smoother, more controlled ride with the SX6000 rear shock. The twin-tube cellular gas design helps absorb road imperfections without harsh rebound, improving steering response and reducing body roll on and off the pavement. With two shocks required for most trucks, this unit pairs with its counterpart to restore balanced handling and confidence across daily commutes and weekend adventures. Backed by Tuff Country’s limited lifetime warranty, it’s a durable upgrade you can rely on season after season.
