- Built for trucks and vans: full-displaced valving on compression cycles for controlled ride and handling.
- Larger bore & 2-in. reserve tube: a 1-3/8 in. bore runs at lower operating pressure than standard 1-in. units and holds up to twice the fluid for more consistent performance.
- Nitrogen gas charge: helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade.
- OE all-weather fluid & self-lubricating seal: special modifiers handle extreme temperatures and reduce friction against the piston rod; sintered iron piston adds durability.
