Shock SNS2 9in Dry Kit Builder Shock

The BILSTEIN Shock SNS2 9in Dry Kit Builder Shock (MPN: 33-316697) is a monotube shock absorber engineered for high-performance suspension tuning and custom shock assembly. This single unit is designed as a component within a shock-building system, allowing users to construct dampers tailored to specific vehicle dynamics and ride characteristics. With a 1.81-inch outer diameter and zinc-plated steel construction, the SNS2 delivers corrosion resistance and structural integrity in demanding conditions.

The shock compresses to 15.87 inches and extends to 23.79 inches, providing a 7.92-inch stroke range suitable for mid-travel applications in off-road, motorsport, and precision suspension setups. The monotube design allows for efficient heat dissipation and consistent damping across the full compression and rebound cycle—critical for vehicles operating in extreme terrain or high-speed racing environments. Zinc plating provides reliable corrosion protection without compromising internal performance, making this unit suitable for both dry-climate and corrosive environments like salt-air or high-moisture regions.

This dry kit builder shock is intended for suspension engineers, fabricators, and enthusiasts who assemble custom damping systems for trucks, off-road buggies, competition vehicles, and specialty applications where off-the-shelf shock options don't meet performance requirements. The ability to specify bore, rod, valve configuration, and spring preload makes this component ideal for buyers seeking total suspension control. At 4.36 pounds, the shock integrates into systems where weight distribution and component modularity are critical factors in vehicle balance and handling precision.
