The SX8000 Nitro Gas Shock from Tuff Country is a purpose-built dampener for lifted trucks, SUVs, and Jeeps seeking a balanced ride that handles daily driving, towing, and off-road adventures with confidence. This single shock (sold individually) is designed to pair with a typical 4-inch lift for optimized control.
- Loop-to-Loop mounting: designed for easy installation in lifted suspension configurations and reliable, consistent articulation.

- Extended / collapsed length: 26 1/4" extended and 15 3/4" collapsed to accommodate lifted setups while preserving wheel travel.
