What is the advantage of an Internal Bypass (IBP) shock absorber?

An Internal Bypass shock allows for a more tunable damping curve. It can provide a softer ride over small bumps while still offering increased damping force as the suspension compresses further, which is beneficial for absorbing larger impacts without bottoming out.

Why is a remote reservoir important for off-road shocks?

The remote reservoir holds extra shock oil and gas, which helps to keep the shock cooler under heavy use. This prevents the oil from aerating and maintains consistent damping performance, especially during long runs or aggressive driving on rough terrain.

What else might I need to install these shocks on my vehicle?

Since these are performance shocks for custom applications, you will likely need to fabricate mounting brackets and potentially other suspension components to properly integrate them into your vehicle's suspension system. It's recommended to consult with a suspension specialist for custom builds.

Product Details

What you get with this King Shocks Race Smoothie shock is a complete, well-built damping unit ready for serious off-road action. It includes the 14-inch long, 3.5-inch diameter body shock absorber itself, featuring an internal bypass (IBP) design for improved damping control. You also receive a remote reservoir with a hose, which holds extra oil and gas to help keep the shock cool under heavy use, and a 1-inch diameter shaft for strength and durability. This setup is designed for custom builds where precise suspension tuning is key.

The Race Smoothie series from King Shocks is known for its smooth-bore, hard-anodized aluminum body, which helps dissipate heat effectively and resists corrosion. The internal bypass design allows for a more progressive damping curve, meaning it can offer a comfortable ride on smaller bumps while still providing substantial control when the suspension is compressed further, like during hard landings or hitting larger obstacles. The 1-inch diameter shaft is robust, built to handle the stresses of off-road racing and demanding terrain. The included remote reservoir, connected by a flexible hose, is crucial for maintaining consistent damping performance by keeping the shock oil cooler and preventing aeration, especially during extended periods of hard driving.

When installing these shocks on a custom suspension setup, you'll want to ensure proper mounting points are fabricated and that the remote reservoir is positioned where it won't be damaged. King Shocks are a popular choice for builders who need to fine-tune their suspension's response for specific vehicles and driving conditions. While these shocks are sold individually, you'll typically need a pair for the front or rear axle of your vehicle to achieve balanced handling.
