King Shocks 18in Dual Rate 3.0 Race IBP Coilover Shock w/Hose Remote Res w/o Springs 1in Shaft

King Shocks is well-known for building robust suspension components for serious off-road racing and performance applications. This 18-inch dual-rate 3.0 Race IBP coilover shock absorber is a prime example of their commitment to high-performance suspension. It's designed to handle the rigors of competitive off-roading, offering advanced control and adjustability for a wide range of terrain. The Integrated Bypass (IBP) technology allows for precise tuning of damping characteristics throughout the suspension stroke, providing improved bottom-out resistance and a more comfortable ride over rough surfaces.

This coilover features a 3.0-inch diameter shock body, which offers increased fluid capacity and heat dissipation compared to smaller shocks, crucial for maintaining consistent performance during extended use. The 1-inch diameter shaft is strong and durable, built to withstand the impacts encountered in off-road environments. It comes equipped with a hose-mounted remote reservoir, giving you more flexibility in mounting and allowing for additional oil and gas volume. This setup helps to keep the shock cool and performing optimally, even under extreme conditions. Note that this shock is sold without springs, allowing you to select the exact spring rates that best suit your vehicle's weight and intended use.

When setting up this coilover, you'll want to consider the vehicle's overall weight and the type of terrain you'll be navigating. The dual-rate spring setup allows for a softer initial spring rate for small bump compliance and a stiffer secondary spring rate that engages deeper in the suspension travel to prevent bottoming out. Proper tuning of the IBP valves and potentially the remote reservoir's position will be key to achieving the desired ride quality and performance for your specific application. This shock is a substantial upgrade for any vehicle focused on high-performance off-road capability.
