King Air Shocks are built from the highest quality materials available. They provide a compact and lightweight option when used in the appropriate application. Air shocks ride on the pressurized gas charge inside (nitrogen). All air shocks are limited in their use by the physical properties of nitrogen gas. Nitrogen expands when it gets hot and contracts when it cools. In a lightweight rock crawler that only travels a few hundred yards during a full day of competition this is not a problem. If you plan on running on the trail or the street for any length of time it becomes an issue.
When shocks work, they create heat. The heat causes the gas inside an air shock to expand which then extends the shock and changes the damping, it gets stiff. The same thing happens in reverse when the gas inside cools. You could start out on your favorite trail under sunny skies but as you gained elevation and the air got colder, your ride height could be much lower. You would get hung up easier because of the lower ride height. If you are driving a competition only rig and are looking to save weight above all else, air shocks may be the right shock for you. If you plan on driving on the street or running trails King Shocks has a complete product line of coilover and bypass shocks to choose from that will give you the most versatile performance for your rig.

King Smoothie shocks are a major upgrade from your OEM shocks. They contain the same race-proven damping technology and superior construction that King's all-out race shocks have. Smoothie shocks are used with an existing means of supporting the vehicle like leaf springs, torsion bars or coils. They have adjustable valving and are serviceable with simple hand tools. Several reservoir styles are available. Smoothie shocks with external reservoirs can be fitted with the Wide Range Compression Adjuster that allows you to change the compression valving from very soft to very firm with the twist of a knob. The Wide Range Compression adjuster is the perfect addition for vehicles that tow or occasionally carry heavy loads or additional passengers. King Smoothie shocks are custom built in several lengths and mounting options to fit your vehicle.

Factory shocks are designed to be comfortable and give you the best riding experience during your daily commute. But as you try to push the limits of your vehicle so is the need for a shock that would be able to handle the punishment. Many companies offer a shock absorber that looks good but when it comes to racing, looking nice just won’t cut it. It has to perform as well as it looks and this is what King Shocks provides.
Designed For PerformanceKing Shocks is known as a shocks absorber manufacturer intended to be used for professional racing. In addition, they offer performance parts for utility vehicles and OEM replacement parts.
During the 80s, top-level racers were in dire need of a shock absorber that could perform well during races. Options back then for quality high-performance shocks are very limited. Drivers were pushing their vehicles to the limit, which usually resulted in the shocks failing prematurely. Lance King originally drew the design during this time which later on became the foundation of King Shocks that officially opened in 1996.
Today, King Shocks has become one of the go-to brands when it comes to aftermarket shocks for high-performance applications and is currently being used by multiple racers everywhere.
A Shock for EverythingThe original 3” shock design is still being utilized today, but as the company continues to grow, so is their product line. King Shocks have continuously improved itself by using better materials and adapting their design to the customer’s specific needs.
The company is known for building custom shocks depending on the customer’s requirement. You can either choose the kind of tube construction, the shaft diameters, and even the shock travel lengths. These give the customers the ability to precisely control their shocks, allowing them to have the specific shock feedback they require.
The ability to fully customize your shocks to your own liking is the reason why many enthusiasts trust King Shocks. This has become the brand of choice of many top racers in the different racing disciplines.
Tried and TestedAll King Shocks products have been tried and tested, off and on the race track. Real-world testing enables the company to design the shocks to take the level of abuse and destructive forces that are hard to replicate inside a laboratory. This allows them to monitor and take note of other external factors that may affect their shock’s performance.
All the shocks are tested using an electro-magnetic shock dyno. It subjects the shock to a test wherein the products are forced to move at a speed of 120 inches per second. That is basically more abuse compared to what you can do to it while driving.
