By popular request, we now offer a piggyback reservoir coilover shock. We've designed a 2 piece billet upper shock cap that allows the reservoir to hang off the side of the shock. No more trying to figure out where to mount that reservoir. It incorporates our newest replaceable heim and press-in mis-alignment spacers. This shock also comes standard with our lower billet rod end with the same replaceable heim system. Other than the upper cap, this shock is built like the rest of our line. We use a 2.5 DOM body and machine in a large ACME thread to ease preload adjustment. A fully rebuildable and revalvable piston/shim arrangement gives endless possibilities.Our seal head is set up with Buna-N seals, good for temps of 250 degrees. Our plated hardened chrome 7/8 shaft ensures you that your shock is made for the long haul. Our upper spring preload adjuster can be easily adjusted using a simple strap wrench and an allen wrench to tighten it.Our large piggyback reservoir uses a floating piston to keep the oil and air separated. This ensures more consistent performance and aids in cooling as well.
We now have a "High Temp" option that upgrades the shocks to Viton seals and a higher temperature piston wear band...taking the max temp up to 400 degrees. If you plan to race or just play extra hard, it's a great upgrade.
Our smaller shocks (6-8") can be set up with a single coil spring, or you can opt for a dual rate setup as well. The larger shocks will all require the dual rate hardware...a $25 option that gets you the spring floater (divider) and a crossover adjustment nut for tuning options.
