What is the purpose of the piggyback reservoir on this shock?

The piggyback reservoir increases the shock's oil capacity, which helps to keep the shock cooler under heavy use and reduces the chance of performance fade. It also allows for external adjustment of the damping settings.

What does 'smoothie body' mean for this shock absorber?

A smoothie body shock absorber has a smooth, seamless construction without external welds or seams. This design helps with heat dissipation and can contribute to a more consistent damping performance.

Is this shock absorber sold as a pair or individually?

This King Shocks 2.5 PR Smoothie shock absorber is sold individually. You will need to purchase the appropriate number of shocks for your vehicle's suspension setup.

Product Details

King Shocks is well-known for building high-performance suspension components for off-road vehicles. This 14-inch 2.5 PR Smoothie shock absorber with a piggyback reservoir is a prime example of their commitment to quality and performance. It's designed to handle demanding terrain and provide a smoother ride, even when you're pushing your vehicle hard.

The smoothie body design helps dissipate heat effectively, which is crucial for maintaining consistent damping performance during long off-road excursions or aggressive driving. The piggyback reservoir allows for additional oil capacity and finer tuning of the shock's damping characteristics. This setup is ideal for vehicles that see a lot of action, as it helps prevent shock fade and keeps the suspension working optimally. The 2.5-inch diameter shock body offers a robust platform for the internal valving, allowing for precise control over wheel movement.

When you're looking to upgrade your suspension for serious off-road use, components like this King Shocks absorber are a significant step up. They are built to withstand the rigors of off-road abuse while providing an improved ride quality. While this shock is sold individually, consider how it will integrate with your vehicle's existing suspension setup to achieve the desired travel and performance characteristics.
