Fabtech 97-03 Ford F150 2WD Front Performance Shock Absorber

If you're looking to get the most out of your suspension, this front performance shock absorber from Fabtech is a solid option for your 1999-2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. It's built to work with Fabtech's own lift kits, meaning it's designed to complement the geometry and travel of those systems for improved ride control. This shock absorber features a twin-tube hydraulic construction, which is a common and reliable design for everyday driving and moderate off-road use.

Inside, you'll find a high-flow 9-stage valving system that helps manage fluid movement for consistent dampening across a range of speeds. To further combat shock fade, especially during extended periods of activity or at higher speeds, it includes a closed-cell foam insert. The piston itself is 1 3/8 inches in diameter, and it rides on a 9/16 inch hardened chrome piston rod, which is built to handle the stresses of the road. The shock also comes with polyurethane bushings for a durable connection to your vehicle's suspension components.

This shock absorber has an extended length of 22.43 inches and collapses to 13.70 inches, giving it a stroke of 8.73 inches. While it's designed to work with Fabtech lift kits, it can also be a good replacement for stock shocks if you're looking for a more responsive feel. Remember to check the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details on mounting and any associated hardware.
