Tuff Country 61301 Shock Absorber Review

Comes with only half the hardware. I sent a steering damper kit but bought 2 so one shock fits together nicely but I had to use bushings from my old shock and downsize the bushing a bit.

Not that there's anything wrong with the product. Shipping was bad! Ordered two shocks with boots and both had to be reordered which was fine but the second order took another week. I ordered with Prime, it took 2 weeks.

Well we tried. The shocks are the right length, but that's where the good ends. The hardware was wrong. The mounting holes on the shocks are 3/4, but the mounting bolts on the truck are not. Yes, it came with metal bushings that fit the rubber bushing, but that still leaves a difference of over 1/4" between the standard bolt size and the mounting holes. So I spend more money on decent shock sleeves. Note that possibly additional hardware is required to properly install these shocks.

Revain AND Tuff Country list these shocks as suitable for a 2009 Jeep Wrangler with my son's 4 inch lift kit. They absolutely do NOT fit! Ford or Chevy applications must also fit) but the Jeep roof mount requires a cross member through a rubber bushing that attaches with two bolts. Those shock absorbers. These shock absorbers will be returned and I will find the shock absorbers from another manufacturer. It's pretty frustrating when a manufacturer can't even figure out what their own products…
