King Shocks 6 in 2.0 PR Smoothie Shock Emulsion w/o Res 7/8 Shaft - PR2006-SSNR

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.

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.

• Part Type: Performance Race Air Shock
• 2.0x 6" Smoothie
• Emulsion
• Weight: 6
• Compressed Length: 13
• Extended Length: 19

• Lightweight hard anodized 6063 aluminum alloy reservoirs dissipate heat quickly and will not rust due to gas charging contamination. Several colors are available to match your vehicle
• Shock cylinders are bored and honed after cadmium plating to ensure cylindricity and an efficient piston seal that enhances valve function.
• Highly developed port designs on our 6061 aluminum alloy piston provide the famous King ride quality
• 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
• Special long wearing urethane seals have been tested on 18 wheelers for 450,000 miles without a failure
• Large 3/4" or 7/8" diameter shafts have a tensile strength of 100,000 pounds per square inch. They are hard chromed to combat rock bruising and micro-polished to a 6 RA finish for extended seal life
• Replaceable Teflon lined stainless steel spherical bearings will not rust and provide smooth articulation with no metal to metal contact
• High quality fittings are mated to Aeroquip high pressure hoses 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
