Superlift Select (SS) Monotube Shock
Absorbers by Bilstein
Superlift and Bilstein have joined forces
to create the ultimate suspension package for light trucks and SUVs. SS
shock are offered for vehicle suspension types - primarily IFS and coil
sprung - that will realize the most dramatic performance gains. The
patented SS shock absorber possesses a multitude of features not found
in other so-called performance shocks. It starts with the shock body;
the seamless extruded steel body dissipates heat more efficiently, and
heat is one of the major detriments to shock performance and life.
While all Superide shocks are valved
application-specific, the SS incorporates a unique digressive piston
design that allows even more precise tuning. A special piston valve
assembly provides completely independent valving between compression and
rebound cycles to increase reaction times regardless of vehicle speed.
Oil foam leads to shock face. The SS
virtually eliminates the possibility of foaming with a patented
"floating" piston that divides the high-pressure Nitrogen gas
and shock oil. |
All components feature superior strength
and tolerances that are typically associated with Aerospace
technologies. The extruded body has a brushed exterior finish plated in
silver Zinc to withstand corrosive environments. The main shaft is solid
induction hardened steel that is machined then precision ground and hard
chromed for durability. Valve and piston components are machined - not
stamped - and incorporate the highest quality seals. SS shocks also
include premium rubber bushings and a black dust boot. This exceptional
quality combined with strict attention to detail, makes the Select
Series the closest thing to a custom hand-built shock available today.
SS Main Features:
- Independent compression and rebound
valving for precise vehicle-specific tuning.
- High pressure gas and a patented
piston design prevents oil foam
- Monotube body efficiently dissipates
heat
- Silver Zinc plated body prolongs
finish life
- Heavy duty chrome-hardened piston
shaft
- Includes black dust boot.

Superide Select Remote (SSR) Shock
Absorbers
Superlift's newest offering, the SSR, is
a premium monotube high-pressure gas shock that features a remote oil
reservoir. This design is the most effective at dissipating
performance-killing heat; the remote reservoir provides increased oil
capacity to further reduce operation temperatures. Like the SS, the
shock body is silver zinc plated, plus it has a clear powder topcoat for
exceptional appearance and finish life. The SSR performs as well as it
looks. Its Nitride hardened shaft, more durable than chrome, is
5/8" in diameter, compared to 1/2" shafts found in some other
remote units. Piston diameter is a beefy 46mm, and vehicle-specific
valving ensures the best possible ride and control characteristics. When
clearance permits, the remote reservoir is
"piggy-backed" onto the shock body to simplify installation.
Certain applications dictate that the reservoir be mounted to the
vehicle separately, then connected to the shock body via a section of
high-quality braided stainless steel hose. Premium SSR shocks are
purchased separately and not packaged with any lift system. |
