This configuration includes full replacement rear Pro-Ride coil springs and NX2 Nitro Series shocks. The rear coil springs are progressive rate, built to handle heavy loads without sagging, shot peened to increase tensile strength, and finished with a polyester-based powder coat for flexibility and durability. NX2 shocks feature a nitrogen-charged twin-tube design, 10-stage velocity-sensitive valving, a 1-3/8-inch high-flow piston, dual-welded ends for increased strength, self-lubricating seals, and a silver powder coat finish.
