  • 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.

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.
