Protect Your Shocks And Struts With BRIDJIT

May 14, 2025

Don’t wait to blow out a strut or damage your alignment before considering the addition of a curb ramp. Take some advice from TheCarGuyOnline and invest in a BRIDJIT curb ramp to save your suspension.

Shocks and struts are expected to last between 50,000 and 100,000 miles under normal wear conditions. Since these parts don’t all wear at the same rate, you might be able to get a few more miles from yours. However, as you can see in the video below, the drop on a rolled curb adds excessive wear to your suspension:

The job of your shocks and struts is to absorb kinetic energy impulses from the tires and the road, which delivers a comfortable and smooth ride. They also act as a stabilizing force that protects your frame from excessive flex, adding more life to your vehicle. Now, consider what a rolled curb does each and every time you enter and exit your driveway…it repeatedly puts your suspension to the test, to say the lease.

“…when you hit this curb…and we’re going pretty slow… it’s just a constant rocking back and forth…terrible for the suspension, terrible for the struts on your car, too. We’re going to fix it right now.“

It can commonly cost several hundred to a couple thousand bucks to replace a set of shocks and struts. When you consider the money that can be invested in replacing these parts, investing in a curb ramp makes sense. It’s a few hundred dollar spend that you will use every day, probably multiple times per day.
