Technical Description and Features

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation requires matching the shock absorber’s loop mounts to the vehicle’s suspension points. Ensure the measuring points at the center of the loops align correctly for proper fitment. Since this shock is non-adjustable, no tuning is necessary post-installation. It is recommended to replace shocks in pairs to maintain balanced suspension performance. Verify compatibility with Ford F-250 Super Duty and F-350 Super Duty models before installation.
