Tuff Country 68153 SX6000 Front Shock Absorber To Fit with 0" Front Lift
Product Details
Description
Meet the Tuff Country 68153 Front SX6000 Hydraulic Shock, a purpose-built front absorber for the 1998–2001 Ford Ranger 4x4. Designed for vehicles with or without a 0" lift, it delivers a balanced ride that’s comfortable on highways and confident on rough roads.
- Twin-tube construction: durable, reliable damping that smooths road imperfections without harshness.
- 5/8" piston rod: strong and resistant to flex, helping maintain consistent performance over time.
- Multi-stage valving: tuned to provide a controlled, progressive damping response across a range of speeds and terrains.
- Cellular Gas technology: enhances cooling and reduces fade for steadier handling when conditions change—from pavement to dirt.
- 0" lift compatibility: specifically engineered for stock setups and light lift configurations on the Ford Ranger 4x4.
- Includes mounting hardware: comes with bushings, washers, and mounting nut for straightforward installation (note: shock boots are not included).
- Sold individually: most applications require two shocks for full front balance; each shock is sold separately.
- Limited lifetime warranty: backed by Tuff Country for long-term reliability and peace of mind.
The SX6000 front shock combines durable construction with precise damping to deliver real-world benefits: a smoother highway feel, sharper control over uneven surfaces, and improved stability when traversing rough terrain. Built for the Ford Ranger 4x4 with 0" lift, this shock absorber helps restore confidence after potholes, washboard gravel, or rocky trails, while the included hardware simplifies installation. Trust in Tuff Country’s proven engineering to keep your suspension performing ride after ride.
