Doetsch Tech 3000 Series Shocks

We carry two different Series Shocks, the 3000 Series DT shocks and the 8000 Series. We generally use the 3000 series DT shocks on our Suzuki's and Toyota's because of the lower valving. This makes for a better ride due to the light weight characteristics of the Smaller vehicles.

The 3000 series shock features multi-stage valving for a smooth comfortable ride on the street and controlled off-road performance and durability, twin tube design, large 1.375 inch piston, cellular closed cell foam, double wall construction for dent resistant failure, double welded for added strength, a baked white enamel finish and polyurethane bushings.

Second is the 8000 series or pre-runner shocks. These are mostly used with heavier engines or extreme suspensions like the quarter elliptical or coil kits. Designed for many years of off-road use. Features high velocity, speed sensitive valving, massive 1.626 inch piston, large .6875 inch chrome shaft, Teflon wiper seal, built in bump stop, double wall construction for dent resistant failure, double welded for added strength, a baked white enamel finish and polyurethane bushings.

Both come in many sizes to fit your specific application. To get the right shock for you, flex out your vehicle with all suspension and shock mounts ready to go and measure extended and collapsed lengths

For Samurai SPOA and aftermarket shock mounts we generally use 3336 and 3095.

For Samurai SPOA, YJ swap and aftermarket shock mounts we generally use 3407 and 3336.

For Sidekick 2-3" lift we generally use 3180 for the rear.

99% of the time the hardware kits do not matter for the Suzuki and Toyota applications.

Shocks do not come with boots. We do sell them separatly.
