Ironman 4x4 IM2.5 Shock - Mazda BT50 TF 2020-2024 (73-057-698)

Short Product Summary

Ironman 4x4 IM2.5 monotube shock absorber, part 73-057-698, specified for the Mazda BT50 TF 2020-2024. The body is 2.5-inch extruded aluminium with a Type 2 hard anodised finish, tuned with ride comfort in mind.

Why This Product

Off-road tourers want a shock that stays comfortable all day and still shrugs off the knocks. The IM2.5 has a 3-4mm thick, hard anodised aluminium body mounted upside down to keep it out of harm's way, plus a dirt shield to protect the rod and seals. If you drive a Mazda BT50 TF, this is the part number to ask about.

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

• Mazda BT50 TF owners replacing worn or tired shocks with a part made for this vehicle.
• Off-road tourers who spend long days on gravel and rough tracks.
• Drivers wanting a tough finish who like the hard anodised aluminium body and dirt shield.
