Description
The aFe Sway-A-Way 2.5 Front Shock Kit with Remote Reservoirs (afe301-5600-16) is a high-performance, direct-fit front suspension solution engineered for 2017–2024 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty 4WD trucks running 4 to 6 inches of lift. Designed for extreme use while maintaining daily drivability, this kit delivers race-proven damping control, superior durability, and consistent performance in demanding on- and off-road conditions.
These shocks utilize 2.5-inch diameter shock bodies, drawing on over 20 years of Sway-A-Way off-road racing experience. The remote reservoir system increases oil volume and improves heat dissipation, preventing fade during aggressive driving, towing, or sustained off-road abuse. Application-specific valving ensures precise wheel control, reduced body roll, and predictable handling without sacrificing ride comfort.
Each shock is filled with specifically formulated 7wt fully synthetic shock oil and features a multi-seal carrier system engineered to prevent leakage and extend service life. Built entirely in the USA, these shocks feature bright zinc-plated steel bodies, CNC-machined aluminum components, and 7/8-inch polished Nitro Steel shafts for exceptional strength and corrosion resistance.
Included vehicle-specific reservoir mounting brackets bolt directly to the truck with no drilling or welding required, making installation straightforward. Fully rebuildable using simple tools, this kit is ideal for lifted Super Duty owners who want a long-term, serviceable suspension upgrade that performs under real-world abuse.

Construction & Performance Details
The Sway-A-Way 2.5 front shocks feature race-inspired internal valving tuned specifically for heavier Super Duty trucks equipped with larger lifts. The remote reservoir design stabilizes shock temperatures under extreme loads, while the high-strength shafts and spherical bearings allow smooth articulation and durability in harsh environments.
With zinc-plated steel bodies for corrosion resistance and precision-machined aluminum components, these shocks are built to handle high mileage, heavy towing, and aggressive off-road driving with confidence.
