Ironman 4x4 IM2.5 Shock - Volkswagen Amarok 2023+ & more (73-057-886)

Short Product Summary

Part 73-057-886 is the IM2.5 aluminium monotube shock from Ironman 4x4, specified for the Volkswagen Amarok 2023+ and the Ford Ranger T6.2 Next Gen 2023+. It is built around a 57mm CNC billet piston and a 20mm hardened steel rod for a smooth ride on and off the tar.

Why This Product

Some shocks rely on a remote reservoir; the IM2.5 keeps things simple with an inline internal floating piston and high-pressure 200PSI nitrogen gas. The idea is comfort with as little complication as possible for off-road touring. For Volkswagen Amarok owners, the point is a part picked for the vehicle rather than a generic fit.

Key Features

• Aluminium monotube body – extruded aluminium handles heat better than steel, which helps the shock keep its composure
• Type 2 hard anodised finish – a tough exterior finish to handle an off-road beating
• 57mm CNC billet piston – low-speed bleed ports give a smooth, plush ride from town streets to rocky tracks
• 20mm hardened steel rod – protected by a robust dirt shield and NOK seals
• Internal floating piston – an inline design with 200PSI nitrogen gas instead of a remote reservoir
• Upside-down mounting – the 3-4mm thick body sits out of harm's way from stones and knocks
• Vehicle-specific tuning – each shock is tuned for the vehicle it is made for

Ideal For

• Volkswagen Amarok and other listed models looking for a shock absorber that is tuned for their own vehicle.
• Off-road tourers wanting all-day comfort on long trips.
• Drivers wanting a tough finish who want a shock protected against stone knocks.
