The B9 body type and 12.99-inch body length contribute to the structural integrity and compatibility with the vehicle’s suspension assembly. Included mounting hardware simplifies the replacement process, while the reserve tube diameter of 1.968 inches supports durability under load. The travel length of 6.1 inches allows for adequate suspension movement to maintain ride comfort and vehicle control.
