2-1/2"

This product represents the midrange of the Shock Absorber line, suitable for damping rates up to 575 lb-s/in, sustained temperatures up to 400°F, and tensile loading to 30,000 pounds. It is available, depending on endmount configuration, on a short lead time and can be ordered as a basic unit, or with one or more of the following options or configurations, depending on your needs:

  • Hydraulic Recoil Cutoff to limit suspension extension
  • High-tensile components for applications where the shock absorbers limit wheel trave
  • Performance Curves

Applications

up to 8 ton trucks w/independent suspension
up to 20 ton trucks with live axles
up to 35 ton tracked vehicles

2-3/4"

This is the largest standard product in our Shock Absorber line, suitable for damping rates up to 750 lb-s/in, sustained temperatures up to 450°F, and tensile loading to 40,000 pounds. It is available, depending on endmount configuration, on a short lead time and can be ordered as a basic unit, or with one or more of the following options or configurations, depending on your needs:

  • Hydraulic Recoil Cutoff to limit suspension extension
  • Reduced-profile design for applications where space is a premium
  • Performance Curves
