King Shocks 18in 3.0 PR Smoothie Shock Billet Piggyback Reservoir

The 3.0-inch diameter bore on this King Shocks PR Smoothie shock is a key feature, allowing for a larger volume of oil and a more consistent damping performance, especially under heavy use. This shock is built with a billet aluminum body, which is strong and helps dissipate heat effectively. The piggyback reservoir is also machined from billet, giving you a solid and reliable unit that can handle the rigors of off-road driving. This design helps keep the oil cooler and allows for more suspension travel by providing a place for the shock shaft to go when compressed.

King Shocks are well-known in the off-road community for their rebuildable design and tunable nature. The adjustable compression damping, indicated by the 'PR' in the model name, lets you fine-tune the shock's response to different terrain and driving styles without needing to disassemble the entire unit. This means you can make adjustments on the fly to optimize your ride. The 18-inch overall length provides significant travel potential, making it suitable for vehicles that require a long stroke for articulation and absorbing large impacts. The internal valving is designed to provide a smooth ride, hence the 'Smoothie' name, while still offering control when you need it most.

When installing these shocks, remember they are a performance component designed for custom applications. You'll want to ensure your vehicle's suspension geometry can accommodate the extended travel and mounting points. Because they are rebuildable, you can service them yourself or send them back to King Shocks for professional tuning and maintenance, ensuring they perform optimally for years to come. This shock is a serious upgrade for anyone looking to improve their vehicle's off-road capability and on-road comfort.
