Product Overview
ReadyLIFT SST3000 Shocks are lift-specific performance dampers for customers who want better control from a leveled or lifted truck without moving to a premium adjustable reservoir system. These twin-tube hydraulic shocks are tuned around the vehicle, axle position, and intended lift height rather than serving as generic stock replacements. Their purpose is to manage the added motion and tire weight that often accompany suspension upgrades while retaining comfortable manners for daily driving.
The expanded twin-tube design provides increased fluid capacity to help manage internal temperature during repeated suspension movement. Progressive velocity-sensitive valving responds to how quickly the shock is moving, allowing compliant action over smaller road inputs while adding control as suspension speed increases. This balance supports smoother highway travel, more stable body motion, and improved bump management on rough streets or trails.
A gas and oil separated design helps resist cavitation, while the nitrogen-charged internal chamber supports consistent damping through changing conditions. Selected SST3000 versions use a 5/8 in. hard chrome-plated shaft, a large-diameter piston, and a two-stage sealing approach intended to keep contaminants out and fluid in. The black exterior gives the shock a clean, understated appearance beneath a wide range of truck and SUV builds.
Front and rear models are offered for specific ride-height ranges, from mild leveling and 1 to 3 in. rear lift applications to taller 7 to 8 in. front systems. Correct shock length is essential because a damper designed for one lift height may not provide safe travel on another suspension. Customers should match the selected shock to the exact vehicle, axle position, suspension type, and measured lift range.
SST3000 tuning is especially useful when larger wheels and tires increase unsprung weight and place more demand on factory-style dampers. Better control can reduce repeated bouncing, excessive body movement, and the unsettled feel that sometimes follows a lift installation. The shocks support commuting, highway travel, moderate trail use, and work-truck duty when matched to the intended application.
Most SST3000 configurations are sold individually, allowing customers to replace a damaged unit or build the correct front and rear combination for an existing lift. Their serviceable design and application-specific valving make them a practical performance upgrade for customers focused on value, control, and proper fit. Whether customers are upgrading for larger tires, lifted stance, daily driving, or trail use, ReadyLIFT SST3000 Shocks deliver lift-matched damping and dependable ride control. Now Available at LEER!

Available Options
ReadyLIFT SST3000 Shocks are available in application- and lift-specific configurations:
- Front shocks for 2.5 to 4 in. lift - matched to select lifted SUV applications that need additional front travel and control
- Rear shocks for 2.5 to 4 in. lift - sized for compatible rear suspension travel and axle movement
- Front shocks for 3 to 4 in. lift - developed for select heavy-duty truck systems with moderate front lift
- Rear shocks for 4 to 5 in. lift - matched to compatible rear block and suspension combinations
- Rear shocks for 5 in. lift - tuned for select half-ton truck systems with taller rear ride height
- Front shocks for 7 to 8 in. lift - built for select heavy-duty truck suspension systems with substantially increased front travel
- Rear shocks for 1 to 3 in. lift - suited to select heavy-duty truck rear suspensions with mild added height
Choose a front or rear SST3000 shock by exact vehicle and axle position, then choose the version that matches the measured lift height and installed suspension components.
Why Choose
This product is ideal for customers who want application-tuned lift shock performance, practical durability, and controlled daily-driving manners.
- Lift-specific lengths support correct suspension travel instead of relying on a stock-length replacement
- Progressive velocity-sensitive valving balances comfort with control as suspension speed changes
- Expanded twin-tube construction increases fluid capacity for improved heat management
- Gas and oil separation helps resist aeration and inconsistent damping
- Application tuning accounts for larger wheels, heavier tires, and modified ride height
- Individual sales make it easier to replace one shock or assemble the correct position-specific set
- A value-focused upgrade for street-driven, work-oriented, and recreational lifted vehicles
What's Included
- One application-specific SST3000 shock absorber for most configurations
- Preinstalled bushings and sleeves when supplied for the selected application
- Mounting hardware when included
- Installation instructions
Note: Confirm included components before installation.
Installation Notes
- Confirm the exact vehicle, axle position, suspension type, and measured lift height before ordering or installation.
- Professional installation is recommended, and a wheel alignment may be required when shocks are installed with other suspension changes.
- Do not use a shock outside its specified lift range, because compressed and extended lengths must match available suspension travel.
- Inspect shock mounts, bushings, fasteners, and clearance after initial use and after off-road driving.
Buyer is responsible for use in accordance with applicable vehicle, road, off-road, towing, racing, and local laws.
Warranty Information
ReadyLIFT SST3000 shocks are covered under the applicable ReadyLIFT product warranty for defects in materials and workmanship for the original purchaser. Shock absorbers and other wear-related components may have different coverage periods than structural suspension parts.
Warranty coverage typically excludes improper installation, incorrect lift-height selection, misuse, modifications, overloading, neglected maintenance, normal wear, corrosion, and impact damage outside the applicable terms. Proof of purchase may be required.
