Product Details
Description
The Tuff Country 61262 SX8000 Nitro Gas Shock (Single) with Stem To Loop mounts is built for lifted trucks, SUVs, and Jeeps that demand a confident highway ride without sacrificing off-road capability. With a 17 1/2" collapsed length and 27 1/2" extended length, this nitrogen-charged shock is designed to work smoothly on vehicles tuned for a 2" lift.
- Nitro Gas Charged: Reduces fade under load and delivers quicker, more stable response for towing, highway driving, and rugged terrain.
- Twin-Tube Construction: Durable, consistent performance across temperature changes and demanding conditions.
- Stem-To-Loop Mounting: Flexible compatibility for various lifted-suspension configurations.
- Collapsed / Extended Length: 17.5" collapsed and 27.5" extended to accommodate a 2" lift setup.
- 5/8" Piston Rod: Robust rod diameter for enhanced strength and long-term reliability.
- Polyurethane Bushings: Quiet operation and reduced wear for a smoother ride and longer life.
- Designed for Daily Driving, Towing & Off-Road: Balanced performance that handles on-road comfort and off-road capability.
- Warranty: Backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty for ongoing confidence in your upgrade.
- Includes Hardware: Mounting hardware and bushings are included; note that shock boots are not included.
- Brand: Tuff Country, a trusted name in performance shocks designed to optimize ride quality and handling on lifted applications.
The SX8000 line is engineered to deliver a comfortable highway experience while delivering solid towing performance and improved off-road control. By combining nitrogen gas pressure with a twin-tube design and polyurethane bushings, these shocks maintain consistent damping, resist fade during repeated use, and minimize road noise. If you’re upgrading a 2" lift on a 4WD pickup, Jeep, or SUV, the SX8000 Nitro Gas Shock offers a practical, reliable improvement over stock while preserving everyday drivability. The single-shock option is ideal when paired with compatible companion shocks on the opposite axle to complete your upgrade, and it’s supported by a robust warranty for long-term peace of mind.
