Engineered to deliver a superior ride quality, this shock absorber is ideal for enthusiasts who demand durability and performance, especially when running oversized tires. The Stealth shock combines advanced materials and vehicle-specific valving to provide consistent damping and enhanced control on and off the road, all while maintaining an aggressive all-black aesthetic.

Key Features:

Fabtech’s Stealth Shock Absorber incorporates several cutting-edge features that ensure durability, performance, and a refined ride experience:

• 46mm diameter high-flow piston designed for superior damping and smooth ride quality
• Vehicle-specific valving optimized for oversized tires and off-road conditions
• 14mm Nitrocarburized piston rods that resist rock chips, corrosion, and rust far better than traditional chromed rods
• Matte black finish on piston rods for a complete blackout, stealthy appearance
• Full floating piston design that separates gas from oil to prevent aeration and maintain consistent performance
• 50mm outer diameter seamless steel body for enhanced strength and longevity
• Identifiable raised metal nameplate as a mark of Fabtech quality and authenticity
• All-black finish complements aggressive Jeep styling and aftermarket suspension components

Construction & Design:

The Stealth Shock Absorber is built with a robust 50mm seamless steel body that withstands harsh off-road environments and heavy-duty use. The 14mm Nitrocarburized piston rods provide superior hardness and corrosion resistance compared to conventional chrome rods, ensuring long-lasting durability even in rocky or muddy conditions. The monotube design allows for better heat dissipation and consistent damping performance, while the full floating piston separates gas from oil to eliminate foaming and maintain smooth operation. Every shock is tailored with vehicle-specific valving to optimize ride comfort and control for Jeep Gladiator and Wrangler models equipped with larger tires.

Installation requires no major modifications and can be completed with standard hand tools by experienced DIYers or professional installers.
