King Shocks KIN 3.0 PR Smoothie Shock – 16-Inch Billet Piggyback Reservoir
Engineered for relentless off-road performance, the King Shocks 3.0 PR Smoothie Shock delivers consistent damping and zero fade thanks to its dedicated billet piggyback reservoir that separates shock oil from pressurized nitrogen.
- Dual-function Pro Reserve design isolates nitrogen gas from hydraulic fluid to maintain optimal operating temperature and eliminate cavitation under heavy compression.
- Precision-machined 6061-T6 billet aluminum piggyback reservoir accommodates extended 16-inch stroke travel, providing maximum wheel articulation without premature bottoming.
- Built to withstand punishing terrain, the internal valving and reinforced piston shaft work alongside corrosion-resistant wiper seals to sustain reliability through repeated rocky impacts and high-speed desert running.
- Measuring 40 x 18 x 10 inches packed and weighing 25 pounds, this universal-fit shock pairs directly with most aftermarket upper and lower control arms once mounted to compatible factory-style or custom spherical rod ends.
- Fully adjustable rebound damping and precision porting allow you to dial in the exact ride stiffness needed for varying payloads, tire sizes, and trail conditions.
Because these are classified as universal shocks, verify your installed axle-to-upper control arm clearance before installation; custom eyelets or heim joints may be necessary depending on your steering geometry. The sealed piggyback mounting eliminates the thermal degradation and oil foaming common in traditional mono-tube setups, making it a highly durable replacement for worn OEM struts or failing long-travel units. Whether you are running a lifted Tacoma, Jeep Wrangler, Ford F-150, or custom rock crawler, the King 3.0 PR shock absorbs consecutive hits smoothly while preserving predictable handling characteristics. Always install with recommended torque specifications and re-check rebound adjusters after the initial break-in runs to lock in your preferred ground clearance.
