Key Features:

Fabtech’s Stealth Shock Absorber incorporates cutting-edge design elements and materials to provide outstanding performance and durability:

• 46mm diameter high-flow piston for superior damping and ride comfort
• Vehicle-specific valving optimized for oversized tires and heavy-duty use
• 14mm Nitrocarburized piston rods offering enhanced resistance to rock chips and corrosion
• Full floating piston design that separates gas from oil, preventing cavitation and ensuring consistent shock performance
• 50mm outer diameter seamless steel body for increased strength and durability
• Matte black finish on Nitrocarb piston rods for a complete blackout aesthetic
• Identifiable raised metal nameplate signifying Fabtech’s quality and craftsmanship

Construction & Design:

The Stealth Shock Absorber is built with a robust 50mm seamless steel body that withstands harsh environments and heavy loads. Its monotube design allows for better heat dissipation, reducing fade during extended use. The Nitrocarburized piston rods are treated with a specialized process that significantly improves hardness and corrosion resistance compared to traditional chrome rods, ensuring longevity even in off-road conditions.

Fabtech’s vehicle-specific valving is calibrated to complement the Dodge Ram 1500’s suspension geometry and weight distribution, delivering a balanced ride that absorbs bumps and maintains control. The full floating piston separates the nitrogen gas from the hydraulic oil, preventing aeration and maintaining consistent damping performance over time.

Its precise fitment ensures proper alignment and suspension travel, maintaining factory ride height and handling characteristics while accommodating larger tires.

Installation can typically be completed in under an hour per shock, making it a practical upgrade for both professional mechanics and experienced DIY enthusiasts.
