Off Road Shocks For Lifted Trucks: How to Choose!

Shocks for lifted trucks are an essential part of the ride, especially if you spend your free weekend driving off the beaten paths or ploughing through mud holes out on the trail. With malfunctioning shocks, those excursions would be far less enjoyable or even ruined. When you’re stuck in the middle of a trail with a defective shock, you’d regret not checking on it prior to your excursion. Before you start your adventurous drive, be sure to get your aftermarket shocks from 4 Wheel Parts for a smoother drive.

Why Are Shock Absorbers So Important For Your Truck

Shock absorbers control the up-and-down movement in a suspension system.  Shocks convert kinetic energy into thermal energy. Shock absorber is also referred to as “dampers” because they dampen the energy of the spring. By creating resistance to up and down motion, the dampers turn motion energy into heat, and then dissipate the heat to the atmosphere.

Shocks fulfill two important roles in trucks and other vehicles:

1. They help manage the impact and rebound movement of the vehicle’s springs and suspension. They make the ride more comfortable for driver and passenger.
2. They improve vehicle handling and safety by maintaining solid contact between the tires’ bottom surface and the ground surface. A vehicle that loses its only point of contact with the ground becomes harder to control or stop.

Without a good shock absorber as part of your suspension system, two undesirable things could occur:

1. when a tire strikes an obstacle, the springs alone would react to the impact, sending the vehicle’s suspension into an undesirable undulation resulting in a loss of control as the body and axles moved out of synch with each other.
2. the suspension would move up and down until friction returns the vehicle to static ride height.
