King Shocks 16in 2.5 PR Smoothie Shock Hose Remote Reservoir

What you get with this King Shocks PR2516-SS is a single 16-inch Smoothie shock absorber, complete with a hose and a remote reservoir. This isn't just any shock; it's a well-built component designed to give you significantly improved damping control over standard shocks. The remote reservoir allows the shock oil to stay cooler under heavy use, which means more consistent performance and less fade, especially when you're pushing your vehicle hard or navigating rough terrain. The Smoothie design refers to the smooth bore of the shock body, which helps reduce friction and wear, contributing to a longer lifespan and smoother operation.

The 2.5-inch diameter body of this shock provides a larger volume of oil and a bigger piston area compared to smaller shocks. This larger size is crucial for handling the heat generated during intense off-road driving or towing. The hose and remote reservoir setup lets you mount the reservoir in a location that gets good airflow, further aiding in heat dissipation. This means you can expect more reliable damping performance, whether you're crawling over rocks, hitting desert whoops, or carrying a heavy load. King Shocks are known for their robust construction, and this unit is no exception, built to withstand demanding conditions.

When installing this shock, remember that it's designed for custom applications or specific suspension builds where its dimensions and performance characteristics are a good match. You'll want to ensure you have a suitable mounting location for the remote reservoir and that the shock's length and travel are appropriate for your vehicle's suspension geometry. Proper setup is key to unlocking the full potential of this high-performance shock absorber.
