King Shocks: Built for the Trail, Installed by Experts
King Shocks represents the pinnacle of off-road shock absorber technology. Hand-built in Garden Grove, California, every King shock is assembled, valved, and dyno-tested by a single technician — a level of craftsmanship virtually unheard of in the aftermarket suspension industry. King’s race heritage runs deep, with victories spanning Baja 1000, King of the Hammers, and virtually every major desert racing series. That race-proven technology filters directly into their OEM-length replacement shocks and bolt-on coilover kits. At Godspeed Off-Road, we recommend King Shocks to customers who want the absolute best damping performance available for their truck or Jeep.
Why Godspeed Off-Road Chose King Shocks
King Shocks sets itself apart through hand-built quality and custom valving options. Unlike mass-produced shocks, each King unit is assembled by a single builder who signs the shock body — a direct accountability measure that reflects their commitment to quality. We appreciate King’s willingness to valve shocks specifically for a customer’s vehicle weight, tire size, and intended use. This means a King shock on a lightly loaded Toyota Tacoma gets different valving than one on a fully loaded Ford F-250 — a level of customization that delivers noticeably better ride quality than off-the-shelf alternatives.
Vehicle Applications
King Shocks products are engineered for a range of popular off-road platforms. At Godspeed Off-Road, we regularly install King Shocks components on the Jeep Wrangler, Jeep Gladiator, Ford Bronco, Toyota Tacoma, Toyota 4Runner, Toyota Tundra, Toyota Land Cruiser, Ford F-150, Ford F-250, Chevy Silverado, Chevy Colorado, GMC Sierra, RAM 1500, RAM 2500, Ford Ranger, and Nissan Frontier. King offers both OEM-replacement and performance upgrade shocks for nearly every truck and off-road platform on the road today.
Our King Shocks Installation Expertise
King Shocks — particularly their coilover and bypass models — require precise installation to deliver their full performance potential. Reservoir mounting, hose routing, and ride-height adjustment must be done carefully. For adjustable King shocks, we set the initial compression and rebound settings based on the customer’s vehicle weight and driving profile, then fine-tune after a road test. Our shop has the tools and experience to handle King’s complete product range, from straightforward OEM-length replacements to complex triple-bypass race-spec installations.
Popular King Shocks Products We Install
Our most popular King installations include their 2.5 OEM-Performance Series shocks with adjustable reservoirs — an outstanding upgrade for Toyota Tacoma, 4Runner, and Tundra owners seeking dramatically improved ride quality. We also install King 2.5 coilovers for Jeep Wrangler and Ford Bronco platforms, their front and rear Stage 3 Race kits for F-150 and Silverado, and King’s 3.0 coilover systems for customers building competition-level rigs.
