Raptor 4x4 HD Rear Shock Absorber +5" (12.5 cm) Suzuki Samurai

Raptor 4x4 HD Rear Shock Absorber +5" (12.5 cm) Suzuki Samurai
The rear axle of a tall Samurai has the hardest job: it carries the load, works through the longest travel and it is the end that launches the car over bumps when the damper cannot control rebound. With 12.5 cm of lift a factory unit simply has no extension left to manage that.
This damper is intended for exactly that ride height and built stronger than the original. The difference shows where it matters most – descending rutted tracks and driving with a loaded rear end.
Fitment Suzuki Samurai, rear axle | Designed for +5" / 12.5 cm lift | Protection black rod boot |
Key benefits
- Travel matched to a 12.5 cm lift – the rear axle uses the full spring stroke instead of running into the end of the damper.
- Reinforced construction – the manufacturer quotes greater strength and capability than the original unit, which translates directly into service life at the loaded end of the car.
- Black rod boot – a simple, effective way of extending seal life in mud and sand.
- A consistent set – used with the front RAP-061513 it gives both axles dampers chosen for the same ride height.

Who it is for
For cars that already run a tall lift and genuinely use it. It also suits an expedition-spec Samurai whose rear regularly carries kit and fuel, where the suspension has to keep that weight under control over long stretches of rough ground.
Fitting notes
Confirm the exact lift height – this version is calculated for 12.5 cm and the manufacturer lists separate parts for lower setups. With a lift this tall it is worth checking brake hose length and driveshaft angles as well, since those are easy to overlook when only the dampers are changed.
Why choose it
- A specific lift figure from the manufacturer rather than a retailer estimate.
- Reinforced build for the real loads seen at the rear axle.
- Direct counterpart to the front RAP-061513 for a consistent setup.
The front unit for the same lift is RAP-061513.
