racer Posted September 29, 2004 Report Posted September 29, 2004 a while back i was looking through a sandcar publication and came up across an adfor King racing shocks, and it the ad it said what they make shocks for and ATV's were on that list. Anyone who has ever ridden in a car with kings on it know that they are the Shit! so im wondering has anyone ever seen these things in action before. ive never seen them in any mags, or even on King's website. so im wondering where i can look at some. thanx, cole.

sredish Posted September 29, 2004 Report Posted September 29, 2004 Does King make shocks for quads? Fox makes some pretty damn nice offroad shocks for trucks and desert cars. Haven't tried or heard much about their new atv shocks. Quote

fixitrod Posted September 29, 2004 Report Posted September 29, 2004 (edited) Does King make shocks for quads? thats what i thought i read somewhere. maybe i was hallucinating I can tell you, I didn't photoshop those pics . I was suprised too when I found it. But, if you notice, they are gullwing style. I think it's around 14" of travel... freakin crazy. Edited September 29, 2004 by fixitrod Quote
racer Posted September 29, 2004 Author Report Posted September 29, 2004 thats what those socal a-arms are 14", but they are using TCS shocks. Quote

DUNEDEMON Posted September 29, 2004 Report Posted September 29, 2004 thats what those socal a-arms are 14", but they are using TCS shocks. Those are not TCS, they are Kings, King can / will build anything you want. Quote

FireHead Posted September 29, 2004 Report Posted September 29, 2004 King is an excellent company to deal with. I have worked with them quite a few times before. Their customer service is fantastic. Quote
racer Posted September 29, 2004 Author Report Posted September 29, 2004 well from what ive seen on the dune cars, Kings ARE the way to go. i think if i did anything id go elka, i was just kind of wondering about it. anyone know what so-cal charges for those bad boys? Quote
ledofthezep Posted September 29, 2004 Report Posted September 29, 2004 Fox makes some pretty damn nice offroad shocks for trucks and desert cars. Haven't tried or heard much about their new atv shocks. Yes, they can make shocks for pretty much any application. They're custom, they'll set them up for your riding style, weight...basically just like any other shock manufacturer that's worth a hoot. I was going to look into them for some custom arms I was supposed to have built around a while back. If I remember correctly, for a 19" shock it was going to be around 1g or so... I'm going to be running fox shocks on my buggy when I convert it to a mid-travel rail. Here's a pic of some FOX shocks on a rail, on some arms he built...my builder/buddy uses them on all of his applications. They work nicely...he's running no-rezzies at this time on his buggy though.
