Product Details
Description
The Tuff Country 61236 SX8000 Nitro Gas Shock (Single) is built for lifted trucks, SUVs, and Jeeps that demand steady handling, a comfortable highway ride, and capable off-road performance. Designed to deliver quick response with reduced fade, it’s a dependable upgrade for daily driving, towing, and trail adventures.
- Nitro gas charged: Helps prevent fade and improves shock response for consistent damping under load and rough terrain.
- Twin-tube design: Durable construction that maintains performance across temperature changes and miles driven.
- Extended length for lifted suspensions: 13.5" collapsed, 22.5" extended to accommodate common lift setups; optimized for around a 3.5" lift on XJ and Grand Cherokee, with Wrangler fits for 2" and 4" lifts.
- 5/8" diameter piston rod: Robust rod for reliable actuation and long-lasting wear resistance.
- Polyurethane bushings: Durable, quieter operation with reduced flex and noise over time.
- Includes mounting hardware: Ready-to-install with sleeves, washers, bushings, and nut for secure mounting.
- Boots not included: Note that shock boots are not part of this kit.
- Warranty: Backed by a limited lifetime warranty for ongoing peace of mind.
- Quantity note: Price shown is for one shock; most applications require two shocks for proper suspension balance.
Engineered to deliver a balanced ride, the SX8000 supports everyday driving while enhancing towing and off-road capability. The nitro gas pressure maintains consistent response even after repeated impacts, and the twin-tube design provides predictable performance in both hot and cold conditions. For lifted Jeeps and trucks, the extended length preserves wheel travel and traction, helping you stay confident on rugged trails without sacrificing highway comfort.
