Shock SNS2 9in Comp 9 Reb 2

The BILSTEIN Shock SNS2 9-inch Compensator 9 Rebound 2 (model 33-304311) is a monotube shock absorber engineered for high-performance suspension systems requiring precision damping control and extended travel capability. Designed for applications where consistent response and durability under demanding conditions are critical, this shock delivers controlled compression and rebound characteristics through its specialized C9-R2 valve configuration.

Built with a steel body finished in zinc plating for corrosion resistance, this monotube shock measures 1.81 inches in outside diameter and operates across a travel range of 15.12 inches when compressed to 23.9 inches when fully extended. The C9 compression and R2 rebound valve settings provide nine distinct compression stages and two rebound adjustment positions, allowing tuning for specific load conditions and terrain response. The zinc-plated finish protects against salt-air corrosion and environmental degradation, making this unit suitable for both on-road and off-road suspension applications where long-term reliability is essential.

This shock absorber is specified for vehicles and systems requiring precise damping characteristics in the 9-inch travel class. Users working with custom suspension builds, off-road recovery platforms, and performance chassis benefit from the adjustability and predictable behavior the C9-R2 configuration delivers. The monotube design inherently reduces fade during sustained use and provides consistent performance across temperature ranges, distinguishing it from conventional twin-tube alternatives in demanding service environments.

BILSTEIN's engineering focus on monotube technology and valve precision has established the brand as a specification choice for OEM suspensions and serious aftermarket builds. The SNS2 series represents a balance between tuning range and straightforward installation, making it accessible for both replacement applications and custom system development. This single shock unit (each) can be integrated into staged suspension upgrades or matched pairs for balanced platform behavior.
