Mr. Gasket 1290 Shock Extension

This review is on the shock extenders from Mr. Gasket. The images show the product details after removing it from the packaging, attached to one my shocks and installed on my golf cart. The listing provides a good description and specifications but I will note that the thread size is 3/8” X 24 (fine thread) on both male and female ends. These extenders are manufactured to quality standards. They are made from high strength steel and the threads were clean and free of burrs or nicks. I ordered these extenders for my 1994 Club Car DS. I recently installed heavy duty springs on the rear of my golf cart which resulted in not being able to reattach the shocks. The additional leaf spring stack and ride height made the shocks too short for reattaching. These extenders are the perfect size by adding 3” to the length and allowed me to use my existing shocks without having to purchase new ones. They were very easy to install. You can see in the photos one of the shocks with the extender installed. My golf cart rides much better again now. I’m very satisfied with the shock extenders from Mr. Gasket and recommend them!

Exactly what I needed. The HD springs (needed when adding a rear seat) on my 1995 Club Car DS wanted to sit 1/2" higher than the shocks would allow. The shocks still work great so I didn't want to delete them. These extensions not only 'lifted' my cart but also allowed it ride smoother and much quieter!!! I would have NEVER thought it or I would've bought them there same day as the HD springs!!!100% recommend100% satisfied

I recently installed heavy duty rear leaf springs on my 2007 Club Car DS. After installing the HD rear leaf springs, the shocks were not long enough to tie in, which my research proved to be a common issue when installing heavy duty springs. This product worked perfect to provide the extension I needed and only took about ten minutes to install on both side.

The threads are super fine. They did not match the shocks on my Crown Vic Police Interceptor, so I rethreaded the studs on the shock. Be sure to have all the hardware before you start.

This is the one with fine threads. The other ones I’m guessing are metric or a coarser thread. They work great. Screw them on the end of the shock and tada longer shocks. They seem to be made solid enough. A little pricey for basically some allthread with a union on the end but hey you know that’s what it is before you buy it.

This product will not fit Dodge ram 1500 trucks 1995 through 2001.

stripped out and this extender fixed that issue. Best investment. Saved me 100s

There fine thread while the shocks are coarse thread . Had to retread them to make it work . Otherwise they seem to be quality metal .
