  • 5/8" Piston Rod Diameter: Robust rod size designed for reliable performance and long service life.
  • Polyurethane Bushings: Durable bushings reduce noise and wear for smoother operation and quieter trips.
  • Extended Ride Quality: Balances highway comfort with off-road capability, supporting daily driving, towing, and rough-terrain handling.
  • Shocks Boots Not Included: Note that shock boots are not supplied with this unit.
  • Warranty: Backed by a limited lifetime warranty for lasting peace of mind.
  • Sold Individually (2 Required for Most Applications): Pricing shown is per shock; most setups use two shocks for optimal performance.
  • Vehicle Fitment: Suitable for 1984-1989 Toyota 4Runner 4WD (0" lift), 1986-1995 Toyota Truck 4WD (0" lift), and 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma 4WD (0" lift).

The SX8000 shock absorbers from Tuff Country are built to deliver confidence whether you’re cruising on the highway, towing a trailer, or clawing through off-road trails. Its nitrogen-filled design reduces fade during sustained use, while the twin-tube architecture keeps heat in check and ensures predictable damping.
