What is the primary benefit of the remote reservoir on this shock?

The hose-mounted remote reservoir increases the shock's oil capacity, which helps to dissipate heat more effectively. This leads to more consistent damping performance, especially during prolonged use or under heavy loads.

What makes the 1-inch shaft notable?

A 1-inch diameter shaft is stronger and more resistant to bending or damage compared to smaller diameter shafts. This is important for off-road applications where shocks are subjected to significant forces.

Does this shock come with all necessary mounting hardware?

This product listing is for the single shock absorber and its hose-mounted remote reservoir. You will need to verify if any specific mounting hardware is included or if it needs to be sourced separately based on your custom application.

Product Details

What you get with this King Shocks PR3016-SS is a single 16-inch travel, 3.0-inch diameter Smoothie shock absorber. It comes complete with a hose-mounted remote reservoir and a robust 1-inch diameter shaft. This setup is built for serious off-road performance, offering a significant upgrade over stock suspension components for vehicles used in demanding terrain.

The 3.0-inch diameter body of the shock allows for a larger volume of oil, which helps dissipate heat more effectively during extended use. This improved heat management is crucial for maintaining consistent damping performance, especially during long runs or when encountering rough terrain. The hose-mounted remote reservoir further enhances cooling and provides a wider range of adjustment options for tuning the suspension to your specific needs. Its 1-inch diameter shaft is strong and built to withstand the rigors of off-road abuse, ensuring reliable operation.

King Shocks are well-known in the off-road community for their durable construction and tunable performance. This particular shock absorber is designed to be a direct replacement for many custom suspension applications, though you'll want to confirm mounting and travel requirements for your specific vehicle. Proper installation will involve ensuring the remote reservoir is mounted securely and has adequate clearance throughout the suspension's range of motion. This shock is a solid option for those looking to build a high-performance suspension system that can handle tough conditions.
