High Rollerz Trux

King Off Road Shocks

Our complete suspension systems feature King Shock Technology shocks. These premium shocks include CAD designed high flow pistons made from 7075 cold drawn aluminum.With heat treated, velocity sensitive valving setups which are proprietary to our suspension systems. The shock bodies are smooth bore seemless tubing which is honed to within +/- .001 and is CAD plated to withstand the elements. The urethane based seals ride on chrome plated high carbon steel. Billet anodized aluminum end caps and rod ends on these shocks are made of 6061 aluminum and house 5/8 teflon lined spherical bearings. King Shocks are found on many of the top Trophy Trucks and Class 1 unlimited buggies. Carli Suspension is proud to offer these spectacular shocks to you, our valued customer.

This is a custom built shock. The body is custom length, the shaft is custom length, and the rod ends have custom bearing sizes. The top cap is machined to work in conjunction with the shock towers without any interference. The shocks are so big that the kit comes with a tool to cut the inside of the coil bucket in order to open it up so that the shock can cycle front to back and side to side, without interference.

These shocks come with an increased length reservoir to match the fluid volume inside the shock body. The shocks mount to the factory shock positions except for the towers in front. The high misalignment spacers for the 2.5 systems are the same that work with the Carli 3.0 system, utilizing a 5/8 bearing. This was another customization for Carli Suspension.

The rear shocks have a weld on piggy back reservoir. The 3.0 has a 1 diameter shaft, vs the 7/8 shaft on the 2.5 system, this is closer to a race application. The vavling has been customized to meet Carli’s standards for maximum performance all around. So the shocks work great for advanced off road use, while improving the street driving characteristics of the suspension system. Custom valve profiles were designed for each system, independently. The 2.5 works very different from the 3.0.

The 3.0 shocks performance is a huge step up from the 2.5 system. If you take the surface diameter of the 2.5 shock piston vs. the 3.0, you will find that there is 50% increase in surface area, just from ½ increase in diameter of the shock. The 2.5 has a 4 square inch piston and the 3.0 has a 6 square inch piston, so you actually double the piston size just by going up a half inch in shock diameter. This allows the 3.0 to offer as much shock performance as 2x 2.5. The problem with multiple shocks is that you MUST tune each shock to work with each other, vs a big single shock, where you can tune the shock to work independently.
