Our Syncro EXP Series-031 shocks are designed specifically for stock or lifted Syncros.
These shocks are custom made specifically for us and exhibit many features that most shocks on the market lack, and they cost a lot less than other custom shocks made for Syncros.
The basics -
- Fully adjustable rebound/compression, from very plush, to very stiff, and everything in between
- Fronts are ride height adjustable by using optional shims under the spring seats. Each shim adds 7mm to the front ride height. Shims shown in the photo are not included with the front shocks, but are available separately.
- More wheel travel (no more "topping out", which creates a rough ride quality)
- Rubber bushings (not rod-end/uniball ends that make noise and wear out)
- Large valve diameter for better responsiveness/smoother ride quality
- Built in bump stops (front and rear) that work in conjunction with the stock bump stops
- Sold in Front Pairs, Rear Pairs, or as a Set of Four
- 2 Year Warranty*

Fully Adjustable - Why is being adjustable an advantage? Every van weighs in differently, and many vans are running aftermarket lift springs which are stiffer than stock. This results in many different combinations of spring rates (spring stiffness) and vehicle weights. Expecting a non-adjustable shock to be able to perform well over such a wide variety of different combinations is not reasonable. Having the ability to adjust the compress and rebound of our shocks allows you to tune them to suit any combination of vehicle weight and spring rate. And it's as turning the knob to select one of 28 settings. No need to remove the shocks from the vehicle.
These shocks are specifically made to our specifications for use on Syncros. The shocks are designed to allow maximum downward travel for a given ride height. That equates to better ride quality and more traction. The "lift" rear shocks feature an offset lower eye to allow clearance between the trailing arm and the shock body when the rear suspension is at full droop.
Rubber bushings in the eyes of the shocks offer a quiet, reliable, smooth ride quality. Other high-end shocks usually have uniball/rod end type ends which tend to wear quickly and often make noise. And should the rubber bushings ever wear out, they are replaceable.
Why does the size of the valving matter? Larger diameter valving is more responsive to input compared to smaller diameter valving because the larger passages in the valve allow more oil flow. This equates to a shock that feels very controlled without feeling harsh. Small shock valves tend to have a harsher, less controlled ride quality/feel. Our shocks offer smooooth ride quality, yet feel very "in control" at the same time.
Built in bump stop extensions help ensure the internal valve assembly doesn't bottom out in the shock body, causing damage that leads to shock failure. While you can't see them, the rear shocks have built in bump stops as well.
- *NOTE - Corrosion protection is required on the adjuster shaft to ensure proper operation. Coat the adjuster shaft thoroughly (especially near the shock body) with Bushing Snot, CRC 06026, or equivalent. There are no warranties for corrosion related issues.
