NITRO 9000 GAS SHOCKS
  • Top performers...even when subjected to the most grueling off-road conditions
  • Radial tuned and velocity-sensitive valved for a great highway ride!
  • High-pressure gas charge (up to 200 psi) and spring-loaded piston rods ensure consistent performance and extended service life
The product of over 40 years of engineering excellence, these shocks are tough enough to stand up to almost anything. Radial-tuned velocity-sensitive 10-stage valving (coil spring adjusts to varying road conditions) plus durable urethane bushing for the smoothest ride. Big 1-3/8" piston (except where space limitations prohibit) and big reservoir cylinder to resist heat and eliminate fade. With all-weather fluid included. Dust boots not included.

Pros: the shocks give you extra capacity at least 1000 lbs or so
Cons: the ride is very stiff
"i had these shocks on my wrangler and even with it being lifted 4" i could handle a much heavier trailer then i could with the stock suspension. however the ride was just to stiff for a daily driver for me so i bought a pair of the 8000's for the softer ride they are great shocks i used them for 4 years with no issues and plan to put some on my work truck some time soon"

Pros: cheap
Cons: cheap
"Worst product ever, I was replacing my stock suspension with rough country 3" lift. One day my jeep was bouncing all over the place. I checked my shocks and found that the hardware on one of my shocks had broke off. I didn't even have a change to go wheeling when the suspension broke. Then I noticed the front coil spring were already compressing and loosing there "spring". The top two coils were already compressed together. The system had only been on my jeep for six months and like I said, I had not been off road yet. STAY AWAY FROM THIS BRAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
