The SX8000 Nitro Gas Shock from Tuff Country is a purpose-built dampener for lifted trucks, SUVs, and Jeeps seeking a balanced ride that handles daily driving, towing, and off-road adventures with confidence. This single shock (sold individually) is designed to pair with a typical 4-inch lift for optimized control.

Loop-to-Loop mounting :
designed for easy installation in lifted suspension configurations and reliable, consistent articulation.

Nitro gas charged :
nitrogen pressurization minimizes fade under repeated impacts for quicker, more predictable damping responses.

Twin-tube construction :
durable design that maintains performance across a wide range of temperatures and terrains.

Extended / collapsed length :
26 1/4" extended and 15 3/4" collapsed to accommodate lifted setups while preserving wheel travel. 5/8" piston rod : robust rod resists bending and wear for long-term performance.

Polyurethane bushings :
enhanced durability and reduced noise for a smoother ride.

Designed for lifted vehicles :
optimized for trucks, SUVs, and Jeeps equipped with about a 4" lift, delivering highway comfort with off-road capability.

Limited Lifetime Warranty :
backed by Tuff Country’s warranty for lasting peace of mind.

Note on boots :

Sold individually :
price shown is for one shock; most applications use two shocks for proper suspension balance. The SX8000 delivers a practical, confident ride by combining a responsive nitrogen-charged system with a durable twin-tube layout. Expect improved steering feel, better control during hard braking and cornering, and reliable performance whether you’re navigating rough backroads, towing a trailer, or cruising on the highway. With its reinforced bushings and robust construction, it’s a capable upgrade for anyone prioritizing stability, control, and durability in a lifted-vehicle setup.
