The EFS Elite Front Shock Absorber (36-5493) is engineered for Suzuki Jimny SN413 (1998–2018) and GJ JB74 (2018 + 3-Door) models equipped with a 75 mm suspension lift. As part of the EFS Elite Series, it offers advanced ride control, exceptional durability, and stable handling on both sealed and unsealed surfaces.
With an open length of 500 mm and a closed length of 320 mm, the 36-5493 provides extended travel and consistent damping for higher lift setups. It features a Pin (top) and EB1-S (lower) mount design for secure OE-style installation. Inside, a 35 mm piston and 16 mm hardened-chrome shaft operate within a 51–60 mm twin-tube body filled with low-pressure nitrogen gas to eliminate fade and maintain control under extreme conditions.
Important: For Jimny GJ JB74 models, the 10-1126 Cross Member Bracket must be installed to prevent the front tail shaft from hitting the cross member during full suspension articulation.
