King Shocks 2.5 PR Smooth Body Piggyback w/ IBP & Adjuster 18in Travel

The 2.5-inch smooth body shock from King Shocks features a piggyback reservoir with an Internal Bypass (IBP) design and an external adjuster, offering 18 inches of travel. This setup is built for serious off-road use, allowing for significant suspension articulation and control over varied terrain. The IBP technology works within the shock body to provide position-sensitive damping, meaning it offers a softer ride during normal driving and increased control during hard impacts or when the suspension is compressed further. This is achieved through precisely machined internal valving that changes flow paths based on piston position.

The external adjuster on the piggyback reservoir gives you the ability to fine-tune the damping characteristics of the shock. This means you can dial in the ride quality and handling to match your specific driving style, the terrain you're tackling, or even adjust for different load conditions. The piggyback reservoir itself holds extra oil, which helps to keep the shock cooler under heavy use, preventing performance fade. This is crucial for long off-road excursions or demanding applications where the suspension is constantly working. The smooth body design is also robust and less prone to damage from trail debris compared to some other shock configurations.

When installing these shocks, it's important to ensure proper alignment and consider that the piggyback reservoir may require specific mounting considerations depending on your vehicle's suspension setup. While these shocks are designed for a wide range of custom applications, always refer to the manufacturer's installation guide for detailed instructions and any specific hardware recommendations. The 18 inches of travel is substantial, so ensure your vehicle's chassis and other suspension components can accommodate this range of motion safely.
