Key features:
A polyurethane rebound bumper and rubber bushings help absorb ride harshness, while the fluon-banded piston and a low-friction, self-lubricating seal support quicker rebound and smoother compression. Backed by Rancho's Limited Lifetime Warranty. Sold individually; replacing both shocks across an axle as a matched pair is recommended for balanced ride control.
