Progressive Suspension 494 Series Heavy Duty Shock Absorber with Bushing, 13 inches - Part No. 494-1008

494 Series Shock - Bushing - 13.0" - Heavy Duty

The Progressive Suspension 494 Series Heavy Duty Shock Absorber, part number 494-1008, is designed for demanding applications requiring reliable performance and durability. Featuring a high-pressure gas monotube design, this shock offers superior damping control and responsiveness. The deflective disc damping mechanism ensures smooth operation by reducing unwanted oscillations, providing a comfortable ride even on rough terrains. Its lightweight aluminum body contributes to overall vehicle weight savings while maintaining structural strength for heavy-duty use.
The shock includes adjustable rebound damping, allowing users to fine-tune ride characteristics for different driving conditions. Preload can be manually adjusted by hand, enabling quick and easy setup tailored to specific loads or preferences. The coil spring has a progressive rate, providing a softer ride over small bumps and increasing stiffness as the suspension compresses, which enhances handling and comfort.
A built-in jounce bumper with a cap offers additional protection during large suspension compressions, preventing metal-to-metal contact and potential damage. Standard and bearing bushings are included for versatile installation options, with heavy-duty variants available for more demanding applications. This shock absorber is suitable for vehicles that require robust suspension components to handle heavy loads or off-road conditions, ensuring longevity and consistent performance under stress.
