Rough Country's 2.5 Vertex Reservoir Shocks bring remote-reservoir monotube performance to 2014-2021 F-150 2WD trucks running 5 to 7.5 inches of lift. Purpose-tuned for elevated trucks rather than adapted from a universal application, these shocks pair a massive 2.5-inch piston with nitrogen charging and a remote reservoir to maintain consistent damping whether you're commuting on pavement or hammering through rough terrain.
Monotube construction with external remote reservoir. The monotube design separates the oil and nitrogen charges to eliminate aeration and fade. The steel-braided reservoir line increases oil capacity and gives the shock additional cooling surface area, so performance stays consistent during extended hard use rather than fading when temperatures climb.
A piston and rod combination built for elevated loads. The 2.5-inch piston delivers high oil flow for precise damping control under the extra unsprung weight common with lifted F-150 builds. An 18mm chrome-hardened piston rod handles lateral stress and side loading without flexing, backed by heat-treated alloy bearings and a precision-honed steel body for smooth, repeatable stroke action.
Corrosion resistance engineered to outlast harsh conditions. A zinc-plated finish with double clear coat and a tested 400-plus-hour salt spray rating protects against road salt, mud, and moisture. A three-stage fortified seal system further blocks contamination from reaching internal components, extending service life in environments where standard shock seals wear prematurely.
Vehicle-specific tuning and CNC-machined billet aluminum accents. Each shock is precision-calibrated for the 2014-2021 F-150 2WD platform at 5 to 7.5 inches of lift rather than relying on a generic valving curve. CNC-machined billet aluminum accents, a laser-etched RC logo, and steel-braided reservoir lines give the shock a finished appearance under the truck.
