Front Twin-Tube Gas Shock Absorbers

The Dobinsons GS57-617 is a pair of front twin-tube gas shock absorbers engineered to enhance the performance and durability of your Suzuki Jimny's suspension. Designed, developed, and tested in Australia for the harshest conditions, these shocks are built to withstand extreme heat and rugged terrain. These shocks utilize a low-pressure nitrogen gas charge, which significantly reduces oil aeration and prevents shock fade, ensuring consistent performance even under heavy loads or demanding driving. The superior design incorporates thicker walls and longer travel, providing a noticeable increase in performance over original equipment shock absorbers. Key internal components include Japanese NOK multi-lip seals, Fuchs German shock absorber oil, Teflon piston rings, and double chrome-hardened rods for longevity and smooth operation. A natural rubber bushing is used for reduced noise and vibration, while a metal shock boot protects the rod from damage. They are matched to complement Dobinsons' complete suspension systems, offering a significant upgrade from factory-equipped shocks that are often prone to fade and unable to cope with additional weight or harsh conditions. This specific model, the GS57-617, is compatible with the Suzuki Jimny SN413 and FJB33V from 1998 to 2018, as well as the 2018+ models. It is designed for approximately 1.5 inches of suspension lift and may not work with stock height springs as the shocks are too long. They are sold in pairs and are a direct bolt-on fit, requiring no modifications.
