If you’re looking to take your off-road game to the next level, these ADS Mesa 2.5-inch front shocks are a solid choice. I’ve had my hands on these bad boys, and let me tell you, they’re built to last. The shock body is made from UV-stable ceramic powder-coated steel, which means it can handle whatever the elements throw at it. Plus, the black anodized billet aluminum caps at both ends add a nice touch of durability and style.

One of the standout features is the hard-chrome plated steel shock shafts. These guys resist corrosion like a champ, so you won’t have to worry about rust ruining your ride. And with spacers made from 304 stainless steel, the overall durability is just next-level. Inside, you’ll find premium full synthetic shock oil paired with an internal floating piston (IFP). This setup ensures that you get consistent damping performance, which translates to a smoother ride and better responsiveness, especially when you’re tackling those rough trails.

What I really appreciate is the large bore design of the shock body. At 2.50 inches, it increases fluid capacity and helps resist shock fade, so you can push your rig harder without losing performance. And if you’re someone who likes to keep things in top shape, these shocks are fully rebuildable, which is a huge plus.

Now, let’s get into some specs. These shocks are designed for passive suspension systems and are sold as a pair. They’re compatible with Ford F-250 and F-350 4WD models from 2005 to 2016, so if you’ve got one of those, you’re in luck. The collapsed length is 16.07 inches, and they extend to 24.26 inches with a travel length of 8.19 inches. The valving type is progressive, which means they adapt to different terrains really well.

In short, if you want to upgrade your suspension and improve your off-road performance, these ADS Mesa shocks are a no-brainer. And while you’re at it, don’t forget to check out other essentials like Flowmaster exhaust systems or heavy-duty differential covers from B&M to complete your build.
