What is the main benefit of nitrogen gas in a shock absorber?

Nitrogen gas helps prevent the shock absorber fluid from foaming or aerating, especially under heavy use. This leads to more consistent damping performance and reduces the likelihood of shock fade.

What does the body diameter of a shock absorber affect?

A larger body diameter, like the 2-3/8 inch size on this shock, generally allows for more fluid capacity and a larger piston. This can contribute to better heat dissipation and more precise damping control.

How do the extended and compressed lengths matter?

The extended and compressed lengths are critical for ensuring the shock fits correctly within the suspension system. They dictate the range of motion the suspension can achieve without binding or overextending.

Product Details

The Zone Offroad Nitro Shock absorber features a 2-3/8 inch body diameter, offering a solid foundation for its internal valving. This shock is designed to handle a variety of on and off-road conditions, providing a more controlled and comfortable ride than stock components. Its construction aims to improve your vehicle's handling by reducing body roll during cornering and absorbing impacts from rough terrain.

Inside, nitrogen gas is used to help prevent fluid aeration, which can lead to shock fade during extended use or under heavy loads. This helps maintain consistent damping performance. The shock's overall dimensions, 17.5 inches extended and 11 inches compressed, are important for ensuring proper suspension travel and geometry when installed on your vehicle.
