What is the purpose of a valve shim kit for shocks?

A valve shim kit allows you to adjust the damping characteristics of your shock absorbers. By changing the shim stack, you can control how fluid flows through the valving, which alters the shock's response to impacts.

What do the dimensions .020 x 2.0 refer to?

The .020 refers to the thickness of each shim in inches, and the 2.0 refers to the diameter of each shim in inches. These specific sizes are used to tune the shock's damping.

Are these shims compatible with other shock brands?

This valve shim kit is specifically designed for King Shocks. Compatibility with other brands would depend on their specific valving and shim sizes, which can vary significantly.

About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding your King shocks or looking to fine-tune their performance, this King Shocks Valve Shim Kit is what you need. This kit includes precisely sized shims that allow you to adjust the damping characteristics of your shock absorbers. By changing the shim stack, you can alter how the fluid flows through the valving, which directly impacts how the shock absorbs impacts and controls suspension movement.

This particular kit features shims that are .020 inches thick and 2.0 inches in diameter. These specific dimensions are crucial for achieving the desired damping curves. Using the correct shims ensures that your shocks respond predictably to terrain and driving conditions, whether you're on the trail or the track. King Shocks are well-known for their ability to be rebuilt and tuned, and kits like this are essential for that process.
