Pedders foam cell shock absorbers feature an extra large bore and piston design compared to the original shock absorber supplied with the vehicle. The larger size of the foam cell shock absorber dramatically increases oil capacity for greater ride control and comfort.
This refined design improves off-road performance and provides a smooth ride on uneven terrain. Foam Cell technology virtually eliminates shock feed by evacuating the air of the shock absorbing fluid which ensures optimal damping control in all conditions and optimizes temperature.
