Front Tough Dog 40mm Bore Foam Cell Struts for Ford Ranger PX3 (8/2018+)
Tough Dog’s award-winning Foam Cell shock/strut is their best-selling shock, renowned for its all-around performance.
Whether you're an occasional weekend adventurer or spending most of the year off-road, Foam Cell shocks are designed to meet your needs. The secret to their exceptional performance is the innovative Foam Cell technology—a micro-cellular foam insert that dramatically reduces shock fade, ensuring your shocks perform longer and more reliably, even on the harshest corrugations.
Cavitation and aeration are the main culprits that degrade shock performance. As the shock is pushed harder, the oil and gas inside can mix, forming bubbles that lower the oil's viscosity. This reduces the shock's resistance and impairs its function. The Foam Cell insert eliminates this issue by trapping gas in micro-cells, replacing the air or nitrogen gas typically found in the shock. This prevents bubble formation, allowing for superior shock control and resistance to fade.
Shock Features:
- Large 40mm internal bore (compared to the typical 35mm)
- Twin-tube design for optimal performance
- High-temperature fluid for durability
- 18mm double chrome-plated rod for enhanced strength
- Additional welding on all eyes and studs for added durability
- 10-stage velocity-sensitive valving for precise ride control
- Rod wiper seal and multi-lip seal to protect against dirt and contaminants
- Hydraulic rebound stop for smoother operation
These struts are suitable for the front of all Ford Ranger PX3 4x4 models from 8/2018 onwards, ranging from standard height to 2"/50mm raised.
