Shocks and Struts - Rs5000x steering stabilizers - RANCHO

Truck struts and shocks play a huge role while driving. Like many parts, they are a wear item and will need to be replaced at some point. You’ll also need to look at them if you lift or level your truck. While your springs or torsion bars keep your truck suspended and help make your ride more comfortable, one of the things that differentiates your truck from a horse-drawn buggy is your shock setup. Without them, your truck would bounce around all over the road and you may have less teeth in your mouth after going down some beat-up roads.

Whether you’re replacing your worn-out factory shocks, lifting your truck, or need some extra help when towing, choosing the right struts and shocks can be a daunting task. But, H&H is here to help!

Many lift kits come with shocks that are already paired with the rest of the suspension. But, even those are upgradable, in most cases. By upgrading to aftermarket shocks and struts you can get superior performance-enhancing designs that maximize your truck’s performance and reduce the jarring or bouncing around of old shocks.

H&H carries shocks from the biggest brands in the business, like shocks from Fox Factory Inc, Rough Country, and ReadyLIFT. With the right shocks, you can finally have a suspension system capable of handling high-performance tasks, as well as your daily drive.

If you’re looking for specially-designed shocks for lifted trucks, or off-road shocks that can handle abuse normal trucks can’t, then H&H is the perfect place to shop for these specialty parts. Here, you’ll find companies with decades of experience just like we do, such as Bilstein Shocks and Rancho Shocks. With a broad catalog that’s been built from years of experience, you’re sure to find the perfect aftermarket suspension system for your truck.

Truck Shocks & Struts, Bilstein, Fox, Rancho, Rough Country & More

Your truck's shocks and struts do more than smooth out a bumpy road; they keep your tires planted, your steering predictable, and your load stable through every turn, stop, and rough patch. Whether your factory units are worn out after years of hard use, you've just installed a lift kit, or you're building a dedicated off-road rig, the right aftermarket shocks make an immediate and noticeable difference. At H&H Truck Accessories, we carry over 7,600 shock and strut options from the industry's most trusted brands, including Bilstein, Fox Factory, Rancho, Rough Country, Skyjacker, BDS Suspension, Fabtech, Superlift, ReadyLIFT, and more.

What Do Shocks and Struts Do?

Shocks and struts are the damping components of your suspension system. Your springs, whether coil, leaf, or torsion bar, carry the weight of the vehicle and absorb large impacts, but without a damper to control that energy, your truck would continue bouncing well after hitting a bump. Shocks and struts absorb and dissipate that energy, keeping your tires in consistent contact with the road surface and your ride controlled and stable.

Shocks vs. Struts: What's the Difference?

A shock absorber is a standalone damping unit that works alongside a separate spring. A strut, on the other hand, is a structural component that combines the damper and a mount into a single assembly. It also serves as a pivot point for the steering system on many front suspensions. Whether your truck uses shocks, struts, or a combination of both depends on the specific suspension design of your vehicle. H&H carries both, with fitment-specific options for virtually every popular truck, SUV, and Jeep platform.

Types of Aftermarket Shocks & Struts

Twin-Tube Shocks

Twin-tube shocks are the most common design found on factory suspension setups and many entry-level aftermarket upgrades. They use an inner tube where the piston travels and an outer reservoir tube, with hydraulic fluid doing the damping work. They offer a good balance of ride comfort and cost, making them a solid choice for daily drivers looking to restore worn suspension performance.

Monotube Shocks

Monotube shocks use a single tube design with a floating piston separating the hydraulic fluid from pressurized nitrogen gas. This design runs cooler, responds more precisely to road inputs, and performs more consistently under repeated hard use, making monotube shocks the preferred choice for off-road driving, towing, and performance applications. Bilstein's 5100 and Fox's 2.0 series are among the most popular monotube options in our catalog.

Reservoir Shocks

For the most demanding off-road and performance applications, remote or piggyback reservoir shocks add an external fluid chamber that dramatically increases oil volume and heat dissipation. This prevents the fade that standard shocks experience after prolonged high-intensity use, essential for rock crawling, desert running, or any scenario where the suspension is working hard for extended periods. Fox Factory and BDS Suspension are key brands in this category at H&H.

Coilover Shocks

Coilover shocks combine a shock absorber with a coil spring into a single integrated unit. They are a popular upgrade for lifted trucks and off-road builds because they allow precise ride height adjustment and deliver superior on and off-road handling compared to separate spring-and-shock configurations.

Shocks for Lifted Trucks

If you've installed a leveling kit or a full lift kit, your factory shocks are almost certainly the wrong length and valving for your new suspension geometry. Running factory shocks on a lifted truck leads to premature wear, poor ride quality, and compromised handling, especially off-road. H&H carries lift-specific shocks from Rough Country, Skyjacker, Zone Offroad, Superlift, and Fabtech that are engineered to work with the extended travel and geometry changes that come with lifted suspension systems.
