16" Air Shock

Developed originally for competitive rock crawling buggies where extreme axle articulation means everything.

Terrafirma"s 2.5" Air shock supports the weight of the vehicle, provide infinite ride height adjustability and allow massive articulation for custom vehicle builders.

No more problems with coil springs dislocating or becoming coil bound restricting wheel movement. With up to 16" of travel the Terrafirma Air shock provides ample axle movement even for the most extreme off-road competitors.

The ride quality experienced with air shocks is exceptional, combined with Terrafirma hydraulic bump stops obstacles and extreme terrain can be attacked like never before. The Terrafirma Air shock is super strong 2.5" (66mm) diameter and uses a massive 1.625" (40mm) hard chromed highly polished piston shaft with the latest technology valving and seals.

Air shocks are charged with high pressure Nitrogen, factory set at 150psi and adjustable between 100 and 400psi depending on the weight of the vehicle and preferred ride height. Adjustable between 100 and 400psi and factory set ready to fit 150psi. Terrafirma Air shocks are designed to be mounted vertically with the shaft at the bottom for optimum performance.

It is possible to fine tune the air shocks performance to very precisely suit a given application by adjusting the oil volume and the Nitrogen pressure. For the Terrafirma air shock we have assumed an average setting based on vehicles ranging between 2000 and 3000kg.

For chassis designed to accept 1.5" (38mm) ball joints Terrafirma Misalignment Spacers can be used to adapt the larger Terrafirma shock spherical bearing to give extreme articulation and also to convert to the smaller ½" (12.5) diameter bolt common with some shock brands.
