About Shock Absorbers

Shock absorbers control spring movement and keep tires in contact with the road. On pickups and light trucks driven on corrugated roads with heavy loads, they overheat and wear quickly, leading to poor handling, uneven tire wear and faster wear of other suspension parts.

Frequently asked questions

Should shock absorbers be replaced in pairs?

Yes. Replacing shocks on the same axle together keeps damping balanced side to side. Replacing one only is a common cause of handling complaints.

Are gas shocks always better than hydraulic ones?

Gas-charged shocks resist foaming and fade better on rough roads, which suits most pickups. Some buyers still prefer hydraulic shocks for a softer ride or lower price on light-use vehicles.

Can standard shocks be fitted to a lifted pickup?

They are generally too short, which limits suspension droop and can cause the shock to top out and fail. Use shocks designed for the lift height.
