Why do I need shock extenders when lowering my truck?

When you lower the rear of your truck, the shock absorbers are often forced to operate at an angle that's not ideal. These extenders help bring the shock back to a more vertical position, allowing it to function correctly and potentially last longer.

What is the finish on these shock extenders?

The shock extenders feature a powder-coated grey finish. This type of coating is known for its durability and resistance to corrosion, helping them hold up over time.

What is included with these shock extenders?

This kit includes two rear shock extenders and all the necessary hardware required for installation. You should have everything you need to mount them to your vehicle.

About this part

Product Details

When you lower the rear of your 1988-1998 Chevy C1500 or C2500, the angle of your rear shock absorbers can change significantly. These shock extenders from Maxtrac are designed to bring those shocks back to a more appropriate angle, ensuring they work as intended even with a 5-6 inch drop.

Built with steel and finished in a powder-coated grey, these extenders are made to handle the demands of a lowered suspension. They come as a pair, along with all the necessary hardware to get them installed. This helps maintain proper shock function and can prevent premature wear that can happen when shocks are forced to operate at an extreme angle.
