Key Features:

Engineered for precision and durability, the aFe Sway-A-Way Rear Shock Kit includes:

• 2.5-inch diameter shock bodies with piggyback reservoirs for improved heat dissipation and consistent damping
• Adjustable ride height to accommodate a 6-inch lift setup
• Bright zinc-plated steel cylinders for corrosion resistance and longevity
• CNC machined aluminum components crafted to strict tolerances for superior fit and finish
• Polished nitro steel shafts designed for enhanced strength and durability
• Multi-seal carrier system ensuring zero leakage and extended service life
• Teflon-lined steel spherical bearings for smooth articulation and reduced wear
• Internal floating piston design for consistent damping performance
• Completely rebuildable using simple tools, allowing for long-term maintenance and customization
• Full synthetic shock oil for optimal performance under extreme conditions

Construction & Design:

Each shock absorber in the Sway-A-Way kit is 100% designed and manufactured in the USA, reflecting a commitment to quality and precision engineering. The combination of zinc-plated steel cylinders and CNC-machined aluminum parts ensures a lightweight yet robust construction that withstands the rigors of off-road use. The polished nitro steel shaft enhances durability against bending and corrosion, while the multi-seal carrier prevents fluid leaks, maintaining shock performance over time.

The internal floating piston and full synthetic oil work together to provide consistent damping characteristics, reducing fade during prolonged off-road excursions. Teflon-lined spherical bearings allow for smooth pivoting action, minimizing noise and wear under dynamic conditions.

Installation & Fitment:

This kit is designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for a wide range of Jeep Wrangler and Grand Cherokee models, including various trims such as Rubicon, Sahara, Sport, and Anniversary editions from 2007 through 2018 for the Wrangler, and 2005 through 2010 for the Grand Cherokee. No modifications or special tools are required, making installation straightforward for experienced DIYers or professional shops.

The included rear coil springs provide an additional 1 to 2 inches of lift, complementing the 6-inch shock length to improve ground clearance and suspension articulation. This ensures your vehicle maintains proper geometry and handling characteristics after lift installation.
