What Shocks Do

Shocks or shock absorbers regulate the movement of the truck's suspension under extreme driving conditions. Having properly setup shocks enables the vehicle to be able to have an accurate and predictable control over the truck in accelerating, braking, cruising, or cornering.

Shocks and Springs in Harmony

But that isn't just what the shocks do. Although it is considered the potential damp that absorbs the bouncing of the truck, it also allows the suspension to normalize as quickly as the truck tires are pressed firmly against the road. Generally, air has the ability to be compressed, and having the air springs allows the pressure vessels to be flexible in its movement.

Depending on the height of the spring, the pressure inside the vessels may vary. Sometimes, the variant in the height of the spring do not allow the springs to damp shock, which causes the truck to bounce back and forth. The continuous movement makes it difficult for the tires to handle. Having the shocks will normalize the pressure on the tires. That is why there should be a good combination of spring and shock because it is the key to having the safest ride.

When Shocks Fail

Shocks are exactly what its name suggests. Its sole purpose is to be able to absorb the bumps and humps of the road and help out in having a smooth and comfortable ride. But with the constant contact of the road surface, it tends to wear down. It is just like any other vehicle part; over time they tend to slow down and will require a replacement. Usually it is the rear shocks that easily wear out. It is susceptible to replacement since it bears the heavy loads of the truck so that most of the stress is on them. When the shocks become all worn out and you feel every bump that your truck hits, its time that you need to replace and install new shocks.

What to Look For

It can be difficult to choose the right shock for a vehicle. With all the different manufacturers and all the types of technology employed, there could be a lot of hype to consider. Each company produces not just a single type but would have three or even more.

The shock is part and parcel of a vehicle's suspension. To ensure a smooth ride, a vehicle needs to have the appropriate shock installed because the handling of the vehicle can be affected by this. This part, which is attached from the axle to the truck's frame, has the direct contact with the bumps, humps, and the contours of the road. Having the right shocks on your truck could present a lot of advantages and could also provide a comfortable ride.

The shocks that should be installed on your vehicle should be just right how you need it. It should be able to provide on-road handling results. So whether you have a modified spring-over suspension system or a moderately lifted vehicle, neither should it sway or dive when braking nor should the front lift up when the truck is under acceleration. The ride should be comfortable when on a slow or a fast speed.
