King Shocks 16in 3.0 IBP Race Smoothie Shock w/Hose Remote Reservoir 1in Shaft

This is the King Shocks 16-inch 3.0 IBP Race Smoothie Shock, designed for serious off-road racing and performance applications. It features an internal bypass (IBP) design for advanced damping control and a 1-inch diameter shaft for robust strength. The remote reservoir with a hose allows for increased oil capacity and better heat dissipation, crucial for maintaining consistent performance during extended, high-speed runs. This shock is built to handle the rigors of competitive off-roading, offering a significant upgrade in control and durability over standard suspension components.

The 3.0-inch diameter shock body is constructed from strong, clear-anodized aluminum, which helps with heat management and resists corrosion. Inside, the IBP technology allows for position-sensitive damping, meaning the shock absorber can provide different levels of resistance depending on its stroke position. This translates to a smoother ride over rough terrain while still offering firm control during aggressive maneuvers. The 1-inch diameter hard-chrome plated steel shaft is exceptionally strong, able to withstand the immense forces encountered in off-road racing without bending or failing. The hose-mounted remote reservoir is designed to be mounted away from the shock body, further aiding in cooling and allowing for more flexible installation options on custom builds.

When installing these shocks, it's important to ensure proper alignment and clearance for the remote reservoir and its hose. King Shocks are well-known in the off-road community for their build quality and performance tuning capabilities. While these are race-oriented shocks, their advanced damping can also provide a more controlled and comfortable ride on challenging roads. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation guide for specific details and recommendations to get the most out of this high-performance suspension component.
