Arizona Desert Shocks Expands Mesa 2.5 Series to Broader Platforms, Bringing Race-Tested Suspension to Everyday Drivers

BOWLING GREEN, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Arizona Desert Shocks (ADS), part of the Holley Performance Brands (NYSE: HLLY) portfolio, today announced additional platform expansion to support the launch of its Mesa 2.5 Series shocks – a significant step forward for the iconic suspension brand as it seeks to bring its race-tested technology to a larger segment of the automotive aftermarket. With new direct replacement kits now available for more platforms than ever, Mesa 2.5 Series shocks offer a high-quality off-road suspension upgrade that brings competition-inspired performance to a wider variety of enthusiasts – from weekend adventurers to daily drivers.

“At Holley Performance Brands, we’re committed to delivering innovative products that enhance performance, safety and driving excitement for every level of enthusiast,” said Matthew Stevenson, President & CEO. “The Mesa 2.5 Series is a prime example—offering race-proven capability and control on and off road, without added complexity. With this new shock series, ADS delivers performance, convenience and affordability in one high-performance solution.”

ADS leveraged decades of experience in building custom race shocks to engineer the Mesa 2.5 series. Made in the U.S. with premium materials at ADS’s flagship Tucson facility, the result is upgraded suspension performance that delivers better vehicle control and handling over mass-produced stock shocks. Whether drivers are crawling rocks, blasting through desert trails, or want better ride confidence for everyday driving, the Mesa shocks provide drivers with the edge for safer and faster off-road travel.

• Toyota Tacoma, Tundra and Land Cruiser
• Jeep Gladiator and Wrangler
• Ford F-150, Bronco, and 2500/3500 Super Duty trucks
• Chevrolet Silverado HD
• GMC Sierra HD
• Ram 2500

Key Features and Benefits:

• Direct replacement fit for faster, easier installation
• Made in the U.S.A. using American components at ADS’s Tucson, Arizona facility
• Premium materials like aerospace-grade aluminum and stainless steel enhance durability and corrosion resistance
• 2.5” shock body provides increased damping control and reduced fade

Customer-Inspired Design

ADS has built a 25-year track record of consistent and reliable performance in off-road motor sports, while keeping the voice of the customer at the heart of product innovation. The retail space within its Tucson, Arizona development facility allows product engineers to get direct feedback from customers, insight that was instrumental in shaping the Mesa 2.5 Series shocks.

“We were very thoughtful and intentional in the design of the Mesa 2.5 Series,” said Osvaldo Gallegos, Vice President, Modern Truck & Off-Road Division, Holley Performance Brands. “We combined customer feedback and our decades of expertise to create a custom-tailored, race-quality shock that’s ready to install and go. It’s built for performance, priced for reality and made to last.”

Driven by strong market demand, the Mesa 2.5 Series is slated for continued expansion across an increasingly diverse range of truck, off-road and UTV platforms—broadening access to ADS’s race-proven performance and engineering.
