Utilising only the highest quality materials and strict precision tolerances they deliver unparalleled performance. Our understanding of fluid dynamics and piston design has created unmatched levels of ride quality and superior control.
We offer a wide range of shock types and configurations such as Bypass Shocks, Coilovers, Smooth Bodies with Reservoir, or Pure Emulsion. Our shocks are 100% custom made for your application. All our shocks are easily tunable with simple tools to provide the level of damping you need or you can take advantage of our depth of knowledge in setting up your shocks at one of our weekly test and tune sessions in the dirt.
Servicing your shocks has never been easier with our convenient rebuild kits containing all necessary original parts to restore your shocks like new. Our attention to detail and customer service is second to none. When you choose to ride on Kings you can rest assured you will have the finest shocks available. A set of King, Performance Race series shocks, are all you need to make your suspension perform to its full potential.
Designed for use with existing coils, torsion bars or leaf springs, King Smooth Body Shocks are built from the same materials and to the same tolerances as our top of the line Race Shocks. Their smooth good looks are matched by their smooth performance. These versatile shocks can be built in several configurations to fit your needs and are fully serviceable and adjustable with simple tools. Available with a remote reservoir, piggyback reservoir or pure emulsion we can build shocks to fit whatever and wherever you drive. A set of King, Smooth Body Shocks, are all you need to make your suspension perform to its full potential.

Piston:
Shocks cylinders are precision bored within x/- .001 then honed after zinc plating to remove buildup for a tight piston seal and optimum valving function.
Mounting:
Replaceable Teflon lined stainless steel spherical bearings will not rust and provide smooth articulation with no metal to metal contact.
Seals:
Special long wearing urethane seals have been tested on 18 wheelers for 450,000 miles without a failure. |
Valving:
Heat treated stainless alloy valve shims do not fracture like plain carbon steel and resist deformation at high temperatures providing consistent fade free performance.
Wear bands are made from a Rulon composite that offers incredible wear resistance, low deformation under load and high compressive strength. Overlapping end design enhances sealing.
Reservoir:
Lightweight hard Anodised 6063 aluminium alloy reservoirs dissipate heat quickly and will not rust due to gas charging contamination. Several colours are available to match your vehicle.
High quality fittings are mated to Aeroquip high pressure hoses on remote reservoir designs which resist abrasion and allow a tighter bend radius without kinking like braided stainless or cloth lines do.
“Piggyback” style shocks offer a simple, durable reservoir mounting option.

King Coil Over Shocks provide the highest level of performance damping and suspension control for your vehicle. Their design allows for a space saving solution to your suspension mounting needs as they incorporate both the coil spring and shock absorber in one package. They are used as a primary suspension member to carry the weight of the vehicle and to maintain ride height while providing the adjustable valving and high quality ride characteristics King is famous for. All of our coil over shocks are custom made for your application. Our experienced designers work with you to determine the correct spring rate and valving you need to achieve ultimate performance. Our strict adherence to precision tolerances and quality materials insure you will own the finest coil over shocks available. Nothing rides like King.

King’s Bypass Shock technology represents a culmination of refinement dating back to the original design concept over a decade ago. No matter what the demands placed on your suspension, King can provide configuration specific bypass designs to assure complete control of high speed and low speed oscillations with our position sensitive damping.
Tube quantity and location are based on our time tested standard locations or your entirely unique custom application. Our bypass valve design and superior tube flow capacity provides accurate flow control over the whole range of adjustment. Our precise manufacturing processes and strict adherence to quality standards makes this possible. Our bypass valve springs are made out of the same material we use for our valve shims to reduce the possibility of heat induced fade, compromising your settings.
Shock tubes are honed after plating to assure a tight piston seal and all bypass ports are CNC drilled and hand deburred then polished. This commitment to quality and attention to detail creates enhanced flow control and unparalleled levels of precision adjustment. When you combine this level of functionality with our depth of knowledge setting up your valving and bypass settings you will enjoy enhanced car control, reduced driver fatigue and sustained peak performance.
Once you experience King shocks you will know there really is a difference. Nothing rides like a King.
