VRD4X4 Shocks Performance Race Air Shock 10" 12" 14" 16" Integral Reservoir Strut Piggyback Reservoir Air Strut ST X

The Air Strut and Piggyback Reservoir from VRD4X4 Struts. Engineered for the demanding conditions of off-road rigs, this system offers an unparalleled blend of utility and versatility at an exceptional value.

The Piggyback Reservoir is meticulously designed to accommodate the needs of rugged vehicles that utilize a high-pressure nitrogen gas fill, enhancing the spring rate without compromising comfort. This innovative reservoir captures excess oil expelled during intense, high-impact activities and efficiently recycles it back into the strut on the rebound. The result is a consistently smooth ride that boasts exceptional stability across the most challenging terrains.

Versatility is at the forefront of the design, can also be remote reservoir,allowing the reservoir to be mounted directly to the chassis via a robust, flexible hose.

Investing in the Strut with Piggyback Reservoir means securing the performance, and reliability necessary to explore the great outdoors with confidence, knowing you’ll have the support to venture forth and the assurance of a safe return.

Piggyback & Remote Reservoir features:
Increased oil capacity for longer strokes
Deep-fin design doubles as an oil cooler

VRD4X4 STRUTS INFORMATION:
With a weight capacity up to 1,900 pounds, VRD4X4 Struts are ideal for rock crawlers and other lightweight vehicles.

Conventional air shocks are typically set to a low ride height to prevent push-off, but then bottom-out quickly over bumps because of the low ride. Coil-overs are usually set close to full extension to help reduce body roll, but can present a high center of gravity problem when set at full extension. This Struts can be set at mid-stroke, both to absorb bumps and to drop out quickly over ruts, so there’s no trade-offs in performance and the operator can enjoy a comfortable ride at any speed.

Depending upon your specific link geometry, load, and personal preferences, you may dump the sway bar, external bump stops and limit straps — This Struts combine all these features in a single package.

Piggyback Struts features:
Dual-pressurized chambers that provide for unmatched body roll stability in fast turns and on off-camber side hills. Set them to mid-stroke ride height and you can still control body roll without pushing off.
Specially designed compression damping valve that rushes oil back into the main cylinder 60 percent faster.
3-stage, velocity-sensitive compression damping that changes your soft ride to firm compression damping as the speed of the piston shaft increases.
Adjustable nitrogen gas pressures make the struts tunable, so you can choose a firm ride or loose articulation.
2-inch piston Compact design fits into tight spaces and makes many additional pieces of hardware unnecessary.
Velocity-sensitive, 7-position externally adjustable rebound damping.
Internal hydraulic bump stop on compression stroke.
Hydraulic end-of-stroke cushioning at full extension.
Cooling fins to dissipate heat and boost performance.
Lightweight, high-strength construction, featuring billet 6061 aluminum, stainless, and carbon steel.
