Construction & Design:
The Stealth shock absorbers are constructed with high-grade materials engineered to withstand harsh off-road conditions and daily wear. The 50mm seamless steel body provides a robust housing that resists deformation and damage from impacts. The Nitrocarburized piston rods are treated with a specialized surface hardening process that significantly improves resistance to rock chips, rust, and corrosion, extending the service life of the shocks.
Fabtech’s vehicle-specific valving ensures that the damping characteristics are tailored to the weight and suspension geometry of each application, delivering a balanced ride that maintains comfort without sacrificing control. The full floating piston design effectively separates the nitrogen gas from the hydraulic oil, preventing aeration and maintaining consistent shock performance over extended use.

Designed as a direct replacement for the front shocks on select Jeep Wrangler and Ram 1500 models, the Fabtech Stealth Front Shock Absorber installs with minimal modifications required. It fits Jeep Wrangler models from 2007 through 2015, including Sport, Sahara, Rubicon, Unlimited, and 70th Anniversary editions. For Ram 1500, it covers model years 2019 through 2021 across trims such as Big Horn, Laramie, Rebel, TRX, and more.
Installation typically involves standard shock removal and replacement procedures, making it accessible for professional installers and experienced DIY enthusiasts.
