NOT THAT FUNCTIONAL FOR A LIFT DRIVER

I can't say these are the worst shock absorbers and they will most likely work fine in factory cars. Having said that I really don't think they are the best choice for forklifts especially if they are big and heavy, you prefer nitrogen filled shock absorbers and if budget allows adjustable shock absorbers. The problem is that they are filled with liquid. , the rod doesn't actually push out of the cylinder like gas struts do where you have to fight to compress it. In this case you really have to pull the bar out and it takes some force to do that, so the truck doesn't have that rebound assist from those dampers that made the ride uncomfortable, as you pretty much felt that everything transmitted to the steering wheel on the road and throughout the truck. If you hit a pothole or those big potholes in the road, you won't be happy at all. Gas-charged ones are a much better choice as they not only help absorb energy from road bumps but also push up the suspension making for a more comfortable and smoother ride and you certainly won't feel the road in your hands or the potholes in the street. your head. Handling wise same story, not even close to gas struts, tight corners make you wonder if the truck is going to tip over, believe it or not, those extra pounds of force on the gas struts push the truck up , make a HUGE difference when it comes to cornering and braking, straight highways like roads, that's another story, they'll work fine, city driving isn't so much. old pensioner) Budget shock absorbers and easy installation. I personally don't recommend for a lifted heavy truck, maybe a factory suspension.
