Tuff Country 61271 - SX8000 Nitro Gas Shock (Single) - Loop to Loop - 17 1/2" X 27 3/4"

The SX8000 Nitro Gas Shock (Single) from Tuff Country is a purpose-built absorber for lifted trucks, SUVs, and Jeeps. With its loop-to-loop design and a 17 1/2" collapsed length paired to a 27 3/4" extended length, it’s optimized for roughly a 2" lift to deliver a confident, balanced ride on and off the road.

• Loop-to-Loop mounting: Simple, reliable attachment compatible with common lifted-vehicle suspensions for straightforward installation.
• Nitro gas charged: Reduces fade under heavy use, providing quicker, more consistent damping response when driving, towing, or tackling rough terrain.
• Twin-tube construction: Durable design that maintains steady performance across a wide range of temperatures and conditions.
• Polyurethane bushings: Long-lasting and quiet operation with reduced vibration and wear over time.
• Extended length: 27 3/4" to match lifted suspension geometry and maximize wheel travel.
• Collapsed length: 17 1/2" for a compact, space-efficient fit when the suspension compresses.
• Piston rod diameter: 5/8" piston rod provides robust actuation and improved durability under demanding use.
• Balanced performance: Engineered to deliver highway ride comfort while preserving off-road capability and towing stability.
• Warranty: Backed by a limited lifetime warranty for long-term confidence in your suspension upgrade.
• Sold individually: Price shown is per shock; most setups require two shocks for full coverage.

If your vehicle spends time on the highway, hauls trailers, and ventures off the beaten path, the SX8000 Nitro Gas Shock offers a reliable, tuned damping solution. The nitrogen pressure helps maintain consistent handling under load, while the twin-tube design stays durable during heat buildup from demanding drives. The result is a more controlled ride with better steering feel, reduced body roll, and improved resilience against road irregularities—all while keeping installation straightforward on lifted configurations optimized for around a 2" lift.
