Ridetech Smooth Body Shocks

Ridetech Smooth Body Shocks

Ridetech Smooth Body Shock Dimensions – Shock absorbers are without a doubt the brains of your suspension. Nothing influences how your car rides and handles more than its shock absorbers. Their primary function is to control the oscillations of your car’s springs thereby keeping your tires in contact with the road.  RideTech Smooth Body shock absorbers utilize monotube design to best accomplish that objective, allowing for a larger piston and more precise valving. The design is superior to twin tube shocks with respect to damping and reliability.  These HQ Series Shocks are rebound adjustable shock absorbers and offer exceptional quality thanks to impact-forged, hard-anodized bodies and heavy-duty shafts. They carry an industry-best 1,000,001-mile warranty. 

Below are the Ridetech Smooth Body Shock Dimensions to help ensure proper ride height for the best ride quality possible. Ride Height is indicated below using the 50%-60% measurements. Looking for Coil-Over Measurements?
