What is the difference between a twin-tube gas shock and a standard shock?

A twin-tube gas shock uses gas pressure to help prevent the oil inside from foaming, especially during heavy use. This helps maintain consistent damping performance and a smoother ride compared to standard hydraulic shocks.

Does this shock absorber come with everything needed for installation?

Yes, this Maxtrac shock absorber includes all the necessary hardware for installation. This means you should have the mounting components and bushings required to attach it to your vehicle.

What are the extended and collapsed lengths of this shock absorber?

The shock absorber has an extended length of 13.00 inches and a collapsed length of 8.00 inches. These measurements are important for ensuring proper fitment and suspension travel on your specific vehicle.
