Master Series ShockWaves SA

The Master Series ShockWaves SA air suspension system from RIDETECH represents a quantum leap in ride quality and vehicle control for serious builders and enthusiasts. Designed for street rods, custom trucks, and performance vehicles, this coilover-style shock absorber replaces traditional passive suspension with electronically adjustable damping, delivering a smooth highway cruise while maintaining the stiffness needed for aggressive cornering and load handling. Whether you're building a show-winning custom or upgrading a daily driver, the ShockWaves SA addresses the fundamental conflict between comfort and control that plagues conventional setups.

These shocks employ RIDETECH's proprietary air spring and damper technology, allowing real-time adjustment of suspension stiffness without mechanical changes to springs or sway bars. The 36.5-inch overall length and 13.3-pound weight specification indicate a full-size coilover design suitable for independent front suspensions and rear four-link applications. The SA designation signals single-adjustable capability, meaning you tune compression damping on the fly via an onboard air management system—critical for dialing in handling as fuel load, cargo, or suspension geometry changes during a drive.

Builders integrating the Master Series ShockWaves SA benefit most when installing a complete air suspension package that includes frame-mounted air springs, a compressor, and management electronics. Installation requires fabrication experience or professional assistance—these are not bolt-in replacements for OEM shocks. Compatibility spans hot rods, restomod classics, and modern trucks with custom frame geometry, provided your application uses coilover-ready suspension mounts and adequate underbody clearance for the 9 x 8.25-inch footprint. Proper setup yields superior weight transfer, reduced body roll, and the ability to maintain ride height under varying loads.
