WITH EACH ORDER WE DISCUSS THE SPECIFIC
NEEDS OF THE CUSTOMER. HIGHWAY RIDE, TERRAIN, SPECIFIC COMPONENTS ON
THE VEHICLE, AND OFF ROAD
DESIRES ARE ALL FACTORED IN. WE CAN TUNE THESE SHOCKS TO WORK PERFECT
WITH ALMOST
ANY SPRING COMBINATION
OR LIFT HEIGHT. WITH OUR ADVANCED INTERNAL SHOCK DESIGNS, FOCUSING ON
THE KING 2.5,
WE CAN GIVE YOU THE BEST RANGE
OF PERFORMANCE POSSIBLE AT A GREAT PRICE.
OUR WIDE RANGE OF VALVING
OPTIONS COMES FROM YEARS OF RESEARCH, THEORY, AND TESTING. TECHNOLOGY
BASED FROM
THE LATEST MOTOCROSS
SHOCK INTERNALS, AND ADAPTING THE DESIGN TO ALLOW THESE HEAVY DODGE
DIESELS TO PERFORM
LIKE NO OTHER. EVERY
SHOCK
INTERNAL DESIGN WE HAVE FOCUSES ON GIVING THE BEST RIDE ON THE SMALLER
BUMPS, WHILE
RESISTING BOTTOMING AND ADDING CONTROL ON THE LARGER IMPACTS. THIS IS
DONE BY STRATEGICALLY PLACING MULTIPLE
VALVING ZONES INSIDE THE SHOCK, GIVING TRUE SPEED SENSITIVE VALVING.
SMALLER IMPACTS USE THE SOFT
ZONE,
WHILE LARGER IMPACTS PUSH THROUGH THE SOFT ZONE AND USE THE TUNED
STIFFER ZONE(S). THIS TYPE OF
VALVING
IS VERY VEHICLE SPECIFIC AND REQUIRES PRECISION DOWN TO THE LAST .001".
YOU DO NOT GET THIS
LEVEL
OF PERFORMANCE FROM ANY OFF THE SHELF UNIVERSAL RACE SHOCK.
-
STAGE ONE - RIDES UNBELIEVABLE ON
THE HIGHWAY AND
PERFORMS GREAT ON MILD GRAVEL ROADS. VALVING IS LIGHT
ENOUGH TO COMPLETELY ABSORB EVEN THE LARGEST POTHOLES, HIGHWAY
EXPANSION JOINTS, AND
EXCELS
ON SMALL CHOPPY TERRAIN. STAGE ONE FRONT VALVING IS THE LIGHTEST
VALVING WE HAVE, AND CAN STILL
BOTTOM OUT EASILY ONCE YOU GET MORE AGGRESSIVE OFF ROAD. COMFORT AND
POSSIBLE SPEED OFF ROAD IS
STILL ABOUT DOUBLE WHAT IS POSSIBLE WITH THE STOCK SHOCKS.
-
STAGE TWO -
HIGHWAY RIDE IS STILL TOP-NOTCH,
BUT THE SUSPENSION WILL NOW HAVE A SLIGHT SPORTS CAR TYPE
FEEL TO IT. LARGE POTHOLES AND RUTS ARE ABSORBED THE SAME AS
STAGE ONE, BUT
THE SMALLER HOLES AND
BUMPS HAVE A BIT MORE ENTRY FEEL. OFF ROAD PERFORMANCE AND
BOTTOMING
RESISTANCE IS INCREASED ABOUT
10% FROM STAGE ONE.
-
STAGE THREE - THE MOST COMMON
VALVING DESIGN
WE USE. HIGHWAY RIDE IS STILL MUCH BETTER THAN STOCK, AND
WITH THE RIGHT COMPONENTS, THE OFF ROAD PERFORMANCE INCREASE IS HUGE.
LARGE POTHOLES, CURB SIZE
BUMPS, RUTTED DIRT ROADS, AND SMALL SAND WHOOPS ARE NO PROBLEM. MORE
SPEED EQUALS
MORE
FORCE TO PUSH THROUGH THE VALVING AND SMOOTH OUT THE RIDE IN THIS TYPE
OF
TERRAIN.
-
STAGE FOUR - THIS IS WHERE THE OFF ROAD
PERFORMANCE REALLY INCREASES, AND DESIRES SPEED. TIME TO
START
THINKING ABOUT A FRONT AXLE TRUSS, AS THE OFF ROAD SPEEDS ATTAINED CAN
LET THE REALLY
BIG
HITS COME UP QUICK. ON ROAD RIDE IS STILL BETTER THAN STOCK ALL AROUND,
WILL
START
TO FEEL MORE FIRM ON THE LARGER POTHOLES AND BUMPS COMPARED TO STAGE
THREE.
-
STAGE FIVE -
AXLE
TRUSS IS PRETTY MUCH MANDATORY AT THIS POINT TO USE THIS VALVING TO
IT'S POTENTIAL. WITH
THIS MUCH VALVING THE SUSPENSION DOES NOT ABSORB THE SMALLER BUMPS AS
EASY, AND IS DESIGNED TO NOW
REALLY RESIST BOTTOMING OUT. LARGE POTHOLES AND SMALL SPEED BUMPS ARE
NOW ABOUT THE SAME FEEL AS THE
STOCK SUSPENSION, BUT DO STILL GET ABSORBED WITH ENOUGH SPEED. THE
HIGHWAY RIDE IS
MORE
BALANCED THAN STOCK, BUT HAS ABOUT THE SAME FEEL ON AVERAGE.
-
STAGE SIX -
PRETTY MUCH FOCUSED ON RACE SPEED OFF
ROAD PERFORMANCE. SMALLER SQUARE EDGE BUMPS WILL BE
PRONOUNCED, BUT THE BIGGER ROLLERS AND WHOOPS JUST WANT MORE SPEED.
LARGE SAND WHOOPS CAN
BE SKIPPED ACROSS WITH THE CORRECT LINE AND SKILL. THIS VALVING CAN
TEST THE LIMITS OF ANY DRIVER
AND LET THE TRUCK OBTAIN JAW DROPPING SPEED IN THE ROUGH. TO DRIVE YOUR
DODGE RAM AT THE
LIMITS OF THIS VALVING WILL REQUIRE VAST OFF ROAD DRIVING SKILL AND
EXPERIENCE. HIGHWAY RIDE IS
COMPROMISED WHEN CONTACTING LARGE POTHOLES AND BUMPS, BUT FREEWAY
EXPANSION JOINTS ARE STILL
MORE BALANCED THAN STOCK.
