And here I thought Ford’s horrible quad-binding system couldn’t be outdone.

Enginerd time.
it’s damping. “Dampening” means to make something wet. “Damping” means prevent oscillation in a resonant system.

possibly not. that could be from something like a monster truck. See, the very name “shock absorbers” or “shocks” is misleading. Shocks are actually dashpots, or dampers. The job of a dashpot is to provide a resistance to movement, and resist harder the faster whatever it’s attached to tries to move. Your car’s suspension is a spring-mass system, and it has a resonance. the job of the shock absorber is to “damp” that resonance so if you hit a bump, the axle will go up to follow the bump (jounce,) go back down to meet the road surface (rebound,) and stop moving. if the suspension is under-damped, when the car/truck goes over the bump, it’ll come down and the vehicle will continue to bob up and down as it drives down the road.
a truck like the one pictured with huge wheels and tires has so much unsprung mass that it needs a lot of shocks to damp the potential oscillations of the axle.

I resisted posting this, and you went and did it...

Damping is preferred and in more common usage. Dampening is an alternative and correct term.
