Product Details
Description
The SX8000 Nitro Gas Shock (Single) from Tuff Country is a nitrogen-charged performance shock designed for lifted trucks, SUVs, and Jeeps. With Loop to Loop mounting and a collapsed length of 14.25 inches and extended length of 23.25 inches, it delivers a balanced ride for daily driving, towing, and off-road adventures.
- Nitrogen gas charged: Helps prevent fade and delivers quicker, more consistent shock response under load and heat.
- Twin-tube construction: Durable design that stays cooler and maintains steady dampening across rough terrain and long drives.
- Loop to Loop mounting: Simple, reliable attachment compatible with commonly upgraded suspension setups.
- Polyurethane bushings: Built for durability and reduced noise and harshness.
- Extended length / Collapsed length: 23.25" extended, 14.25" collapsed to maximize wheel travel on lifted setups.
- 5/8" piston rod: Strong rod for long-lasting performance through repeated cycles.
- Lift-focused design: Optimized for roughly 4" of lift to preserve ride quality on lifted vehicles.
- Limited Lifetime Warranty: Confidence and coverage backed by Tuff Country.
- Sold individually: Price shown is for one shock; most applications require two shocks for complete installation.
- Boot note: Shock boots are not included with this shock.
Tuned to balance highway comfort with off-road capability, the SX8000 keeps you in control whether you're navigating city streets, hauling gear, or venturing off the pavement. The nitrogen charge resists fading during quick, repeated bumps, while the twin-tube design handles heat from towing and rugged terrain. Polyurethane bushings reduce noise and vibration for a smoother ride, and the loop-to-loop geometry ensures dependable mounting that pairs well with common lift kits. If you’re upgrading a 4-inch lifted setup, this shock helps you preserve ride quality without sacrificing capability, backed by a lifetime warranty for ongoing peace of mind.
