Product Overview
RQ stands for “Ride Quality”, representing Ridetech’s continued dedication to ride quality, while the “S” signifies the 1.5” steel body construction. These new 1.5” steel body shocks offer the tried-and-true Ridetech ride quality our customers have come to expect from over 30 years of suspension development thanks to their monotube design. They also feature 24-position rebound adjustability allowing you to dial in performance to your liking, along with heavy duty 1/2” shock shafts, all at an affordable price.
Front RQ-S Shock Absorber with 5.25" stroke with narrow t-bar/stud mounting. Includes 1 steel body rebound adjustable shock. 9.05" x 14.3" with a 11.75"-12.25" ride height.
Features:
- Mono-tube design allows large piston for superior oil control – increases ride quality and handling performance
- 1/2" hardened shaft is precision ground and straightened to a tolerance of .001" inch for increased durability and performance
- Billet end cap with integrated debris wiper to prevent seal damage
- Teflon piston wiper allows consistent piston/bore contact and repeatable performance
- Oversized rod guide improves piston rod stability
- Integral internal bumpstop eliminates extension crashing
- Mono-tube bore is cathode anodized for years of wear resistance
- Hard coat external anodizing ensures years of lasting beauty and performance
- Specially contoured composite gas separator cup optimizes dead length and ensures proper nitrogen/oil separation
- Mono-tube design not only optimizes performance, but uses fewer components than a twin tube design. This is superior fluid control in its most simple and efficient form!
Twin-Tube vs Mono-Tube
The mono-tube design is the choice of nearly all high end and OEM and extreme performance shock manufacturers. Its main advantage is that a larger piston and a more efficient oil flow path leads to cooler operating temps and more consistent performance in extreme environments.
The RQ (ride quality) Series shocks have been designed and tuned for optium ride qulity in street rods, Muscle Cars, classic trucks and cruisers. It’s the perfect solution for the hotrodder who wants to install it and forget it!
