Helix Solid Axle Shocks
Helix solid axle shocks are nitrogen gas charged shocks precision engineered for long life and improved performance over the standard "name brand" shocks. They feature a valving system with a 1 3/4 in. reserve tube that allows better fluid transfer, thus better performance. This means not only a better ride, but also sport shock-like handling when needed due to the extra reserve chamber, which allows the shock to stiffen when conditions demand it. Designed especially for hot rod use, they feature hard chrome non-rust shafts, along with superior dampening and rebound.
