Product Details
Description
Tuff Country 69103 SX8000 Nitro Gas Rear Shock is a purpose-built replacement for 0" rear‑lift Jeep Cherokee XJ models, delivering a balanced blend of highway comfort and off‑road capability.
- Fits 0" rear lift on 1987–2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ: designed specifically for stock-height or 0" lift applications to maintain proper ride quality and axle alignment.
- Extended length / collapsed length: 20.5" extended and 12.5" collapsed, engineered to preserve wheel travel and handling on lifted or stock suspensions.
- Nitro gas charged: nitrogen-pressurized to resist fading and provide quicker, more consistent shock response under load.
- Twin-tube construction: durable design that delivers reliable damping across highway, towing, and trails.
- 5/8" diameter piston rod: robust rod for improved resistance to wear and bending under demanding use.
- Polyurethane bushings: durable, quieter operation with extended service life compared with standard rubber bushings.
- Limited Lifetime Warranty: built to last and backed to support long-term reliability.
- Notes: shock boots are not included with this shock.
- Sold individually: this listing is for one shock; most applications require a pair (2 shocks).
The SX8000 rear shock delivers fade-resistant performance under repeated impacts, helping maintain stable handling during towing, daily driving, and off‑road excursions. Nitrogen charge minimizes heat-related damping loss for consistent ride quality, while polyurethane bushings reduce noise and wear for longer service life. For Jeep XJ owners, this shock preserves a comfortable highway feel without sacrificing off‑road control, providing a reliable upgrade that aligns with the vehicle’s suspension geometry. Backed by Tuff Country’s warranty, it’s a dependable choice for long‑term reliability.
