Product Details
Sport Leveling System by TeraFlex®. Falcon Sport Shock Absorber System is engineered to deliver increased stability and control as well as improved ride quality and comfort both on and off-road. These compact and affordable shocks are ideal for daily driven vehicles.
Features
- Application-specific pickup shock absorbers with race-inspired performance
- Front shock features multiple snap ring grooves to level out front end
- Snap ring grooves maintain set ride height (instructions laser etched on shock body)
- Dramatic improvement in on-road comfort and off-road performance
- Increases vehicle stability
- Improved dynamic roll control and low speed damping
- All testing done on E-rated tires (worst possible ride)
- Optimized fitment for clearance during full suspension travel
- 6061-T6 aluminum alloy 2.3" shock body resists wear and protects internal components while providing superior heat dissipation
- Smooth honed internal shock body surface for long-term performance
- 0.75" induction hardened chrome plated shaft resists rock damage and corrosion
- 1-piece Teflon bronze piston wear band w/ O-ring
- Hard anodized piston
- Zone Rate Tuning (ZRT) retunes the factory spring in the Extension, Drive and Compression zones
- Negative spring inside shock body eliminates top out clunk, softens tire landing, and reduces body roll and stress on shock
- Application-specific tuned bump stop reduces bottoming out and body roll
- OGS – the oil/gas separator prevents cavitation
- Digressive linear piston
- High-quality spherical bushings
- Zerk fittings to lube bushing
- Red Line full synthetic shock oil with high viscosity index of 519 for consistent performance across all temperatures and reduced shock fade

- Serviceable and rebuildable
- Built in-house at the TeraFlex Falcon Shock Division
- Patent pending design
- 3-year warranty
Zone Rate Tuning (ZRT) manipulates the factory linear-rate spring tuning to produce three distinct performance zones with a more exaggerated spring curve to tackle various driving conditions.
An internal negative-rate spring offsets the factory spring’s preload while in the Extension Zone. This eliminates top out clunk and shock stress at full extension, while softening tire landing and reducing body roll on impact during aggressive driving.
The factory spring rate is unaffected in Drive Zone for a comfortable and controlled ride. A provided progressive microcellular bump stop effectively retunes the spring rate while in Compression Zone to reduce bottoming and body roll during aggressive driving.
Traditional velocity sensitive shock absorbers react quickly during low speed driving causing excessive “head toss” on rough terrain – or even driveways. Conventional damping then firms up during faster speeds resulting in a jarring ride.
Falcon’s proprietary Volume Optimized Damping (VOD) features a digressive linear valve that produces quicker ramp up for increased damping volume, which improves vehicle feedback and control during low-speed driving. VOD also improves the shock absorber’s ability to reduce bottoming out at full compression during faster speeds or over uneven terrain.
TeraFlex® has been professionally involved with Jeeps since the 1950s and that experience taught them how to make them perform their best. TeraFlex was started in the fall of 1996 to meet the needs of the growing market for heavy duty off road equipment and suspension enhancements. And they've maintained a dominant hold on the market since then. TeraFlex was the first aftermarket manufacturer with a suspension system for the TJ Wrangler, and is still the only aftermarket company to offer a solution for the venerable 231 transfer cases low range gearing. In 2001, the entire off road industry was stunned at the CRD60 - an off-road-specific high-pinion 60 differential that took innovation to a new level, reinforcing their position in the industry.
