Just wondering what they actually do? Like what are they used for?
what do tubular front shock turrets do?

It's just a different method of construction.

Being concentric with the shock absorber means that the shock absorber can sit inside the turret and take up less room. The turret is also stronger that a bracket on the chassis, especially given how hight it has to be.

I think the OP is talking about this type of tubular turrets.....

The only advantage is you can hold the shock easier when installing/removing them. They can also be ordered taller or shorter depending on how you wish to setup your suspsnsion.

Just fitted some Terrafirma to my 110 and as the man says stops mud & debris getting compacted in the turret.
