Who It's For

The dynofit shock extenders are for truck and SUV owners running modest 2-4 in rear lift or leveling kits who want to avoid the expense of new shocks. They suit drivers who prefer to retain factory damping characteristics and need a simple bracket to limit piston travel without changing spring rates.

They are not intended for vehicles with air suspension or automatic level systems, and owners planning extreme lifts or aftermarket long-travel shocks should look elsewhere for purpose-built long-travel shock solutions.
