FAQ

No special tools are needed; the package includes all necessary mounting hardware and standard bolts that fit typical Jeep Wrangler front suspension points.

Can I use these dampers on a vehicle other than a Jeep Wrangler?

Yes, the universal fit design accommodates many SUV models with similar front steering geometry, but always verify clearance and mounting points before purchase.

How does the digressive valving improve driving feel?

The valving adjusts damping force in real time, softening on smooth surfaces for comfort and firming up on rough terrain to maintain control, reducing steering vibration.
