As important as good shock absorbers are for cars, they can have an even larger impact on pickups, vans and Sport Utility Vehicles. These vehicles are heavy and they have high centers of gravity. Combine that with what are generally less sophisticated suspensions and fairly heavy tire/wheel systems and the need for effective damping becomes critical.

The combination of fairly stiff springs and heavy tires and wheels not only effects ride quality, but it makes the job of keeping the tires in good contact with the road even more difficult. Well designed shock absorbers like TOKICO can make a substantial difference in ride quality as well as the overall safety and performance of a truck suspension.
