TOKICO's new TREKMASTER R/T shocks use the latest technology to attack the problems of proper damping control on trucks and SUVs. The sophisticated oil-flow management system offers:


• Reduced body roll
• Improved steering response
• Minimal dive and squat
• Reduced wander due to side winds
• Better cornering
• Reduced suspension bottoming
• Better braking
• Improved ride quality


The TREKMASTER Series combines TOKICO’s multi-stage variable-aperture piston and sandwich valve system, with a new base valve design that provides a four-stage dual blow-off compression cycle. What all of that means is, the TREKMASTER provides a level of handling, traction, and ride quality unmatched by other shocks. In addition to the very sophisticated damping system, TREKMASTER shocks feature a low mechanical drag rod guide and piston seal design. The result is up to 65 percent less mechanical drag compared to other shocks. Smooth operation and long life are the benefits

The graph above illustrates a TREKMASTER damping force curve compared to an original equipment shock curve. On the rebound side, the TREKMASTER uses less resistance at low piston velocities for better traction and ride. Increased resistance occurs at medium to high piston velocities to control chassis pitch and lean.

The TREKMASTER uses enough compression damping to keep the tires on the road, but not so much that traction and ride quality suffer. The result – good adhesion and low impact harshness for better ride quality.

Only TOKICO’s sophisticated valve system can perform all of a shock's jobs correctly. For more information see Evaluating your Shocks.
