King Shocks 07-18 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Rear 2.5 Dia Piggyback Res Shock for 6in Pro Comp Lift

This is a King Shocks 2.5-inch diameter rear shock absorber specifically designed for the 2007-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 equipped with a 6-inch Pro Comp lift kit. King Shocks are well-known for their performance and durability, and this particular shock is built to handle the demands of lifted trucks, offering improved damping and control over rough terrain. The piggyback reservoir allows for increased oil capacity and better heat dissipation, which is crucial for maintaining consistent performance during extended use or under heavy loads.

The shock features a large 2.5-inch diameter body, which houses a substantial amount of damping fluid and a robust piston. This larger body helps to keep the shock cooler, preventing the performance fade that can happen with smaller shocks when they get hot. The piggyback reservoir is externally mounted and can be positioned to optimize cooling and prevent damage. It contains its own piston and oil, separating it from the main shock oil and allowing for more precise tuning of the damping characteristics. This setup is ideal for drivers who push their trucks hard, whether off-roading, towing, or simply navigating challenging roads.

Installation of these shocks is intended to work with the specific mounting points and geometry of a 6-inch Pro Comp lift kit for your Silverado 1500. While they are designed as a direct replacement for the lift kit's original rear shocks, it's always a good idea to refer to the lift kit manufacturer's installation instructions and the shock manufacturer's guidelines to ensure proper setup and alignment. Having a well-matched shock and lift kit combination like this will significantly improve your truck's ride quality and handling capabilities off-road and on pavement.
