Incredible Improvement

This gas shock is a great addition to any automotive suspension system. As my tests showed, it provides excellent stability and responsiveness on the road. The gas technology means that the shock absorbs more shock, making for a smoother ride. The installation process was relatively easy and didn't take more than a few hours. A small downside is that the shock provides a slightly stiffer ride, but the benefits definitely outweigh this con. Overall, it's a quality product that I would highly…

Pros
  • Provides superior handling and stability on rough roads and during cornering.
Cons
  • Might be too stiff for some drivers, resulting in a harsh ride experience.

Terrible quality materials

I had the top studs on both shocks removed before reaching factory torque (I used a torque wrench). Now I have to wait another 8 days for a replacement before I can complete the frontend repair. The original came within 2 days. The quality and customer service is frankly unacceptable.

Pros
  • Provides up to 25% better damping efficiency than stock shocks
Cons
  • Repair

Great shocks for F-250

Fits perfectly and rides much better than twin tubes. I'm torn between those and the Bilstein 4600, but for the price I can buy three sets for the price of one Bilstein set. My F-250 no longer nose dives when I hit the brakes and the tail no longer "wobbles". ” more when towing my caravan.

Pros
  • Mono tube design outperforms all other stock shocks
Cons
  • Don't remember but there was something
