Shock SZ/SL 9in Comp 13 Reb 2

The Shock SZ/SL 9-inch Compensator with 13 Rebound, 2-stage valve represents a monotube shock design built for off-road and tactical recovery applications requiring precise damping control. This 9-inch shock delivers consistent performance across compression and rebound cycles, with a 1.81-inch outer diameter that fits standard shock mounts found on winches, suspension systems, and recovery equipment.

The SZ Series shock compresses to 14.88 inches and extends fully to 23.52 inches, providing 8.64 inches of total travel stroke. The C13-R2 valve configuration delivers thirteen stages of compression damping paired with two-stage rebound control, enabling smooth load absorption during impact while preventing oscillation on the return stroke. Steel construction with zinc plating resists corrosion in harsh field conditions, whether in desert heat, coastal salt air, or muddy terrain. The monotube design minimizes heat buildup during extended use, critical for maintaining damping consistency during repeated cycles on the trail or during heavy recovery operations.

This shock is engineered for users running winches, off-road suspension packages, and tactical vehicle recovery systems where tuned damping directly impacts vehicle control and load management. The 4.5-pound weight per unit fits within typical suspension budgets for mid-to-heavy-duty applications. Technicians and equipment operators select the SZ Series when stock shocks prove insufficient for high-load scenarios or when fine-tuning rebound and compression independently becomes necessary for optimal vehicle stability.

Monotube shocks like the SZ series offer advantages over twin-tube designs in sustained high-performance use: they run cooler, maintain more consistent damping throughout the stroke, and respond more predictably to tuning changes. The zinc-plated steel finish provides baseline corrosion protection suitable for field service, though inspect regularly if exposed to salt or prolonged moisture.
