- Internal Floating Piston (IFP): Separates shock oil from nitrogen charge to prevent cavitation and maintain consistent damping under high-speed impacts.
- Smooth Body Design: E-line powder-coated finish lowers friction for smoother action and longer seal life compared to traditional reservoirs.
- Application-Specific Valving: Velocity-sensitive damping tuned for Ram 1500 4WD delivers balanced comfort on highways and control in dirt or rocks.
- Precise Dimensions: Extended length 25.22in compressed 19.65in travel 5.57in with 0.50in eyelet mounts top and bottom for direct replacement fit.
