What is the purpose of the long fin design on this reservoir?

The long fin design increases the surface area of the reservoir. This helps to dissipate heat away from the shock absorber fluid more effectively, which is important for maintaining consistent damping performance under heavy use.

What type of fluid is typically used in these reservoirs?

These reservoirs are designed to hold specialized shock absorber fluid, often referred to as shock oil. The specific type and viscosity of the fluid will depend on the shock absorber manufacturer's recommendations and the intended application.

Does this reservoir assembly come with hoses and fittings?

This product listing is for the reservoir assembly itself. Hoses and fittings are typically sold separately and must be chosen based on the specific requirements of your shock absorbers and vehicle setup.

Product Details

This is the King Shocks 4.0/4.5 RS Long Fin Reservoir Assembly, part number 40417-103. It's an 11.5-inch long, 4.5-inch outer diameter unit designed for use with forced induction systems, specifically as a remote reservoir for shock absorbers. King Shocks is well-known in the off-road and performance suspension world for building robust components that stand up to tough conditions.

This particular reservoir features a long fin design, which helps to dissipate heat more effectively than smoother-walled reservoirs. This improved heat management is crucial for shock absorbers that work hard, especially during extended periods of use like long desert runs or aggressive trail riding. The 4.5-inch outer diameter provides a good volume of fluid, and the overall construction is solid, built to handle the vibrations and impacts common in performance off-road applications. The assembly is designed to be a direct replacement or addition for compatible King Shocks systems, ensuring a proper fit when installed correctly.

When setting up your suspension, proper reservoir placement and fluid levels are key to shock performance and longevity. This assembly is a well-built component that contributes to maintaining optimal shock oil temperature and consistent damping characteristics under demanding use. Ensure you have the correct fittings and hoses for your specific shock absorber and vehicle setup before installation.
