UPDATE | 9/29/2025 | Ridetech RQ-S Shocks are now integrated as an option in many of our StreetGRIP and CoolRide air suspension kits as a dropdown menu selectable item. Notable exceptions include Mustang and Tri-Five StreetGRIP kits as these require special shocks not yet available in steel body.
ORIGINAL RELEASE | Ridetech is pleased to announce the release of their RQ-S Adjustable Monotube Shock series.
RQ stands for “Ride Quality”, representing Ridetech’s continued dedication to ride quality, while the “S” signifies the 1.5” steel body construction. These new 1.5” steel body shocks offer the tried-and-true Ridetech ride quality our customers have come to expect from over 30 years of suspension development thanks to their monotube design. They also feature 24-position rebound adjustability allowing you to dial in performance to your liking, along with heavy duty 1/2” shock shafts, all at an affordable price.
Ridetech RQ-S shocks also benefit from the same best-in-industry 1,000,001 mile warranty, just as all other Ridetech shocks. This warranty offers great peace of mind and confidence that your classic car or truck will enjoy an improved ride quality for decades to come.
