Unplugged Performance CYBRSHOCKS Tames The Tesla Cybertruck

Let’s face it — the Tesla Cybertruck isn’t exactly the first rig most off-roaders think of when it comes to trail credibility. With its futuristic stainless-steel body and air suspension system that seems more “Silicon Valley” than “Moab,” it’s been a tough sell for traditional truck fans. But Unplugged Performance, a company known for taking Teslas from tech toys to true performance machines, might’ve just built the upgrade that changes the conversation. And they call it CYBRSHOCKS.

Meet CYBRSHOCKS — The Fix for the Cybertruck’s Floaty Rear

Unplugged Performance’s new CYBRSHOCKS rear secondary adjustable shock kit is designed to solve one of the Cybertruck’s biggest complaints: the rear suspension’s tendency to feel soft and unsettled when towing, hauling, or hammering through uneven terrain.

Tesla’s air suspension system can raise and lower the truck at will, but as any seasoned off-roader knows, adjustable height doesn’t mean proper damping. When the bed’s loaded or the speed picks up, that factory setup can feel under-damped — leading to a floaty rear end and a less-than-confident ride.

CYBRSHOCKS changes that with a clever, bolt-on secondary shock system that integrates neatly into the Cybertruck’s rear suspension. It works in harmony with the stock Bilstein adaptive dampers, and the factory air springs, adding tunable compression and rebound control without touching Tesla’s software or electronics. The result? A smoother, more planted ride that feels at home both on the highway and on a rocky fire road.

 

CYBRSHOCKS: Serious Hardware, Simple Install

For anyone used to wrenching on traditional rigs, this kit will feel refreshingly straightforward. There’s no cutting, no wiring, and no suspension arm removal. Just pop off a small plastic cover, bolt up the included brackets, and hang the new shocks with the supplied stainless hardware.

Built from 6061-T6 billet aluminum with corrosion-resistant stainless-steel hardware, these shocks are engineered to take abuse — whether that’s trail dust, salty slush, or heavy payloads.

 

Real-World Performance, Tesla-Style Tech

Unplugged Performance didn’t design CYBRSHOCKS for mall crawlers. They built it for owners who use their trucks — those who tow, haul, and hit dirt roads. By adding a secondary damper system that’s adjustable for both compression and rebound, drivers can dial in the ride to match their use: firm it up for heavy towing, soften it for a weekend of exploring, or find that perfect middle ground for daily commuting.

And because the kit works alongside Tesla’s factory systems, you still get full functionality — including ride-height adjustments, rear steering, and all the truck’s safety features.

Price, Availability, and Warranty

The CYBRSHOCKS kit comes in at $2,995, compatible with both the dual-motor AWD and Cyberbeast versions of the Cybertruck. Shipments are expected to start late 2025 to early 2026.

Like all Unplugged Performance products, it’s backed by a one-year, unlimited-mileage warranty, and the company even encourages off-road use — something you rarely hear in the EV aftermarket. There’s also a 30-day satisfaction guarantee, meaning you can try it out, beat on it, and return it if you’re not impressed.
