King Shocks 2.5 x 10″ Air Shock PR2510-ASNR

The King air smoothie is a durable, simple design with infinite height adjustability. They take advantage of Kings advanced seal technology to deliver superior performance in all conditions. Common on competitive rock crawlers, they also work great on light weight desert play car or long travel sand buggy.

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.

Specifications:

< li >Part Type: Air Shock

< li >2.5 x 10″ Airshock

< li >Compressed Length: 19.1

< li >Extended Length: 29.1

Features:

< li >Aluminum components are machined from aircraft quality billet

< li >S O-ring Schrader cover that mounts to the cap, not the valve itself, creates a positive seal and keeps dirt and moisture out.

< li >Shock cylinders are precision bored to within +/- .001, then honed after cadmium plating to remove buildup for a tight piston seal and optimum valving function.

< li >The heat treated 6061 aluminum alloy piston has our highly developed port configurations, specific to air shock applications, that contribute to the unique damping performance and famous King ride quality.

< li >Heat treated stainless alloy valve shims have a unique grain structure that does not fracture and remains stable at high temperatures to maintain consistent valve function.

< li >Wear bands are made from a Rulon composite that wears longer than any other material available. Overlapping end design enhances sealing.

< li >Gun drilled for weight reduction, large diameter 1-1/4″ or 1-5/8″ shafts have a minimum tensile strength of 75,000 pounds per square inch. They are hard chromed and micro-polished to a 6 RA finish for extended seal life.

< li >Rod end threads into hollow shaft and rides on steel Teflon lined spherical bearings for smooth articulation and long life with no metal to metal contact.

< li >O-ring on shaft aids in setting ride height and gauges shaft travel.
