If you’re like me, you know that the right shock absorbers can make all the difference when you’re out on the trail or cruising through the city. That’s where Rough Country’s Nitrogen-charged M1 Monotube Shock Absorber comes into play. These guys are built to handle whatever you throw at them, offering a ride that’s smooth and controlled, no matter the terrain. I’ve put these shocks through their paces, and I can honestly say they deliver on their promise of performance, mile after mile.

What sets the M1 apart is its internal floating piston design. This clever setup keeps the shock oil and high-pressure nitrogen separate, which means you get a quick response without any of that annoying cavitation. So, whether you’re bouncing over rocks or navigating potholes in the city, you’ll feel the difference in vibration damping. It’s like having a well-tuned suspension that just gets it.

Now, let’s talk about the build quality. The M1 features a steel body that’s not just brushed and galvanized but also comes with passivation sealing technology. This means it’s ready to take on the elements without rusting out on you. The internal 46mm digressive piston is designed for durability, giving you confidence that these shocks will stand the test of time.

And if you’re into aesthetics, you’ll appreciate that the M1 is designed to be mounted body-up. It adds a bit of flair to your ride while still being functional. Plus, you’ve got options when it comes to lift heights, so you can customize your setup to suit your needs.

• 18mm centerless-ground rod that’s case-hardened, chromed, and super-polished for smooth operation.
• A robust 2-inch seamless extruded tube that can handle the pressure.
• Backed by a 3-year Manufacturer's Warranty, so you know you’re covered.
• That 46mm digressive piston is a game changer for consistent performance.

These shocks are compatible with the Chevrolet C/K 10 from 1969, specifically the Rough Country M1 Monotube Rear Shocks for a 0-1 inch lift. If you’re looking to upgrade your ride, these shocks are definitely worth considering.
