Shock Surplus

Shocks and Suspension for Trucks and SUVs

Shock Surplus is a distributor specializing in shocks and suspension systems for trucks and SUVs. Its catalog is organized by type of use — overlanding, off-roading, street and track, haul and tow, and daily driver — and by brand, with names such as Bilstein, Dobinsons, Eibach, Fox Racing, Icon Vehicle Dynamics, King Shocks, KYB, Monroe, Old Man Emu, Radflo, Rancho, Skyjacker Suspensions, SPC Performance, Suspension Direct Inc and TeraFlex.

The company presents itself as a suspension specialist and authorized dealer, with new products backed by warranty. Its approach is built on testing experience: according to its own description, it has tested the shocks it sells, drives them and rebuilds them, accumulating hundreds of thousands of miles of testing with the leading brands in the industry.

Catalog by Vehicle and by Brand

In addition to classification by use and by manufacturer, the site allows shopping by lift kits associated with specific models, including Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (2019-2025), Ford F-150 (2021-2026), Ford Bronco (2021-2026), Toyota 4Runner (2010-2024 and 2025-2026), Toyota Tacoma (2005-2015, 2016-2023 and 2024-2026) and Toyota Tundra (2007-2021 and 2022-2026).

The catalog also includes ARB 4x4 products geared toward adventure, such as recovery equipment, racks, traction boards, tire inflation systems and fridges. The company also states that it carries and services Radflo shocks, with factory custom tuning options for comfort, weekend use or heavy duty.

Guides, Technical Resources and Comparisons

Shock Surplus maintains an educational section with buyer's guides by brand — Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford, GMC, Jeep, Nissan and Toyota — and introductory content on shocks: what an improvement in ride quality actually means, shock absorber design types, when to replace them, how to measure them and how adjustable shock absorbers work.

It also publishes installation guides, including the KW V3 coilover install on the Scion FRS, Subaru BRZ and Toyota GT86, the Fox 2.0 Reservoir rebuild service, the Eibach Pro-Truck 2.0 coilover install on a 2019 Ford Ranger FX4 and the Rancho Quicklift and RS9000XL install on a 2020 Silverado 1500 Z71 RST. These resources are rounded out with comparisons such as Fox vs King Shocks and with its own blog and podcasts.
