UTV Adjustable Performance Series Bolt-on Shock Kits

King - Adjustable Shocks
King, UTV shocks, have now reached a new level of versatility and performance. They've taken the knowledge gained in their successful bid to win the Baja 1000 and domination of short course racing and used it to make a great shock even better. King UTV shocks with the Wide Range Compression Adjuster give you the ability to precisely adjust compression damping from super soft to super firm with the simple twist of a knob. The clearly marked knob offers 16 positive clicks of finely tuned adjustment. You can soften your ride when just cruising or firm up the compression when hammering rough terrain or carrying additional gear or passengers.
King Shock Technology has been at the forefront of design and manufacturing for over a decade. They seek out the latest advances in materials and processes to maintain their commitment to provide you with the very best. King is constantly working with designers, builders, crew chiefs and drivers to develop the next level of ground breaking advances. This constant interaction with real world conditions allows them firsthand knowledge of how their products perform on a wide array of vehicles and allows rapid progress testing new designs. King's understanding of fluid dynamics and commitment to quality materials and precision manufacturing gives their shocks a level of performance that is unparalleled.
King Shocks - Adjustable UTV Shock
King UTV shocks are machined from the finest billet materials right here in the USA. They feature fully tunable and serviceable internal valving and externally threaded coil over shock bodies for variable ride height and spring preload adjustments using simple hand tools. They include Spherical bearing mounts, micro-polished shafts and gas pressurized "piggyback" remote reservoirs. Custom shock lengths are available to fit long travel suspensions as well as stock applications. Existing King shock owners can easily upgrade to the new technology as well.
