King Shocks 12in 3.5 Race Shock Smoothie Shock w/Hose Remote Reservoir 1in Shaft

If you're building a serious off-road race vehicle or a high-performance custom suspension, you need shocks that can handle extreme conditions and provide precise control. The King Shocks 3.5 Race Shock Smoothie is built for those demanding applications, offering a robust solution for vehicles that see heavy use on rough terrain. This shock absorber is designed to manage heat effectively and deliver consistent damping performance when you need it most.

This shock features a 3.5-inch diameter body, which allows for a larger volume of oil and a more substantial piston. The larger oil volume helps dissipate heat generated during intense use, preventing shock fade and maintaining consistent damping. Inside, a 1-inch diameter shaft offers strength and durability, capable of withstanding the rigors of off-road racing. The included hose-mounted remote reservoir is a key component for managing heat and fine-tuning your suspension. It holds extra oil and allows for adjustable compression damping, giving you the ability to dial in the ride characteristics for specific tracks or conditions. The smoothie design means the reservoir is integrated via a hose, offering flexibility in mounting placement, which is crucial for custom builds where space can be tight.

King Shocks are well-known in the off-road community for their build quality and performance. This shock is a solid option for anyone looking to significantly upgrade their suspension's capability for racing or extreme off-road exploration. When installing, pay close attention to the remote reservoir placement and ensure the hose has a clear path without kinks. Proper setup of the adjustable compression will make a notable difference in how your vehicle handles bumps and G-outs.
