What is an emulsion shock absorber?

An emulsion shock absorber mixes the shock fluid and nitrogen gas together within the shock body. This design is common in performance applications and helps maintain consistent damping performance, especially under heavy use.

What does the 2.5-inch body diameter mean for performance?

The 2.5-inch body diameter allows for a larger volume of shock fluid. More fluid helps to dissipate heat more effectively, which is crucial for preventing shock fade during prolonged or intense use, like off-roading.

Does this shock come with mounting hardware?

This product listing is for the King Shocks 2.5 PR Smoothie Emulsion Shock absorber itself. Mounting hardware is typically sold separately or is specific to the custom suspension setup it's being installed into. Always check the manufacturer's recommendations for installation.

Product Details

This is a King Shocks 2.5 PR Smoothie Emulsion Shock, designed for applications needing up to 18 inches of travel. King Shocks are well-known in the off-road community for their robust construction and performance. This particular shock uses an emulsion design, meaning the oil and nitrogen are mixed together inside the shock body. It's a popular choice for custom builds and serious off-road vehicles where consistent damping is crucial, especially during long runs or over rough terrain.

The 2.5-inch diameter body allows for a good amount of oil capacity, which helps with heat dissipation. Keeping the shock fluid cool is important for maintaining consistent damping performance, preventing fade when you're really pushing the vehicle. The shock shaft is made from strong, polished steel, and the body is constructed from clear-anodized aluminum for durability and corrosion resistance. This shock is built to handle the rigors of off-road driving, offering a noticeable improvement in ride control and handling over varied surfaces. It's a well-built component designed for those who demand reliable performance from their suspension.

When installing these shocks, it's important to ensure your vehicle's suspension geometry is set up to utilize the full 18 inches of travel effectively. This often involves custom fabrication or modification to existing suspension components. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation guidelines for proper mounting and any specific requirements related to your vehicle's setup. These shocks are sold individually, so be sure to order the correct quantity for your application.
