This sealed shock features a large-body steel construction with a durable zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance.

Key Features:

  • Monotube design with 46mm hard anodized aluminum piston for superior heat dissipation and consistent performance
  • 13.35-inch compressed length, 22.55-inch extended length for 9.2 inches of travel
  • T-Bar upper mount and polyurethane V-style lower mount (5-3M configuration)
  • Factory sealed construction eliminates the need for routine maintenance
  • Zinc-plated steel body provides durability in harsh racing environments
  • Precision valving calibrated for competitive circle track applications

Easy to navigate web site

seems quick and easy. However the fitmant guide on the product says the part will fit, and the vehicle selection column on the left says it will not

The best prices on the net.

seemed a bit hard to find products, but the prices were great and delivery prompt

Autoplicity had the products I was looking for at a great price. Their site made for an easy transaction. Their customer service on the phone was helpful as well. Can't wait to get the parts incstalled on my truck.

The best prices and fast shipping!

I found autoplicity had the best price for the K&N cold air intake I was looking for my 03 MACH1. The shipping was extremely fast and I received a email notification with the tracking number. I recommend autoplicity to all looking for a great deal.

Lowest price for my engine bolt set, beat Jeg's and Summit by quite a bit! I will definitely be checking Autoplicity for future needs.

Great Price, shipped 2 days later though.

Awesome customer service and very good pricing!
