What is the benefit of the Internal Bypass (IBP) technology?

The Internal Bypass (IBP) technology allows the shock to have different damping characteristics based on its position in the stroke. It offers a softer initial ride for small bumps and progressively stiffens as it nears full compression to prevent harsh bottoming out.

How does the piggyback reservoir help?

The piggyback reservoir increases the shock's oil capacity, which helps to keep the fluid cooler under heavy use. This improved cooling reduces the chance of shock fade, ensuring consistent damping performance on long or rough off-road excursions.

What kind of maintenance do these shocks require?

King Shocks generally require periodic inspection for leaks and proper fluid levels. Depending on usage, they may need to be serviced or rebuilt by a qualified technician to maintain optimal performance.

Product Details

When you're pushing your vehicle to its limits off-road, especially in demanding terrain, having suspension that can keep up is critical. The King Shocks 2.5" PR Smoothie Shock with Piggyback Reservoir and Internal Bypass (IBP) is built to handle those challenges, offering improved damping control and adjustability for a more comfortable and capable ride.

This shock absorber features a 2.5-inch diameter body, providing ample fluid capacity for consistent performance even under heavy use. The piggyback reservoir allows for increased oil volume and better heat dissipation, which is crucial for preventing shock fade on long, rough trails. Inside, the Internal Bypass (IBP) technology offers position-sensitive damping. This means the shock stiffens up as it gets closer to bottoming out, preventing harsh impacts, while remaining softer in the initial travel for a smoother ride over smaller bumps and washboard surfaces. The shock body is constructed from strong, clear-anodized aluminum, offering good corrosion resistance and a clean look. The 14-inch stroke length is designed for vehicles that require significant wheel travel, allowing for better articulation and ground clearance.

King Shocks are well-known in the off-road community for their robust construction and tunable performance. While these shocks are designed for direct bolt-on installation on many applications, it's always a good idea to consult the manufacturer's installation guide or a trusted mechanic to ensure proper fitment and setup for your specific vehicle. Having a shock like this can make a notable difference in how your vehicle handles rough terrain, providing better control and a more comfortable experience for the driver and passengers.
