Construction & Design

This design allows for better heat dissipation, which reduces shock fade during extended use. The shock body is crafted from high-quality materials with corrosion-resistant finishes to endure harsh off-road conditions and exposure to the elements.

The velocity-sensitive digressive piston is engineered to react dynamically to different driving inputs, providing firm damping during aggressive maneuvers while maintaining comfort during normal driving. Each shock is precisely tuned for the lifted Jeep Grand Cherokee application to balance performance and ride quality.
