Description

The Tuff Country 61301 SX8000 Nitro Gas Shock (Single) is a purpose-built upgrade for lifted trucks, SUVs, and Jeeps that demands a balanced blend of highway comfort and off-road capability. With a loop-to-loop mounting design and nitrogen-pressurized internals, it delivers quick, confident response when you need it most.

  • Loop-to-Loop mounting: Optimized for common loop-to-loop suspension setups on lifted vehicles, providing reliable alignment and ease of installation.
  • Extended / Collapsed length: Collapsed 17 1/4" and extended 30 1/4", engineered to fit approximately a 4" lift for consistent ride height and damping.
  • Nitrogen gas charged: Reduces fade during repeated hard use and delivers quicker, more linear shock response under load.
  • Twin tube construction: Durable, proven design that maintains performance under demanding daily driving, towing, and off-road conditions.
  • 5/8" piston rod: Strong, resistant to bending and flexing for long-term durability and smoother damping action.
  • Polyurethane bushings: Built to endure rugged use while minimizing noise and unwanted play.
  • Performance balance: Tuned to provide highway comfort with capable off-road handling and towing stability.
  • Warranty: Backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty for confidence in long-term performance.
  • Installation note: Shock boots are not included with this shock, pairing well with compatible boot options if desired.

The SX8000 Nitro Gas shock is designed to be optimized for lifted vehicles, delivering a controlled, comfortable highway ride while enhancing off-road grip and load handling. Its nitrogen pressurization reduces fade on long stretches of rough terrain and under towing loads, so you won’t have to compromise between everyday driving and adventurous trails. With a robust twin-tube design and durable polyurethane bushings, this shock maintains consistent performance across a wide range of conditions, making it a reliable upgrade for your lifted rig.
