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!
