Long-Travel King 2.5” shocks, specifically designed for Carli, are on all four corners.
For the Long Arm system, we designed a second, off-road-oriented 5-Port custom piston instead of the 3-Ports in a short-arm Pintop 2.5” System.
This piston and long arm tuning profile alters the flow of the pressurized shock oil, displacing a wider surface area of the tuning shims to increase bottom-out on sharp hits while providing a predictable, comfortable street ride.
All our King shocks are rounded off with shafts machined and polished from a solid piece of 17-4 Stainless.
Unlike King’s standard shafts, there is no coating to wear off, and weather is far less likely to damage them.
If there is a small chip, you can round the edges with emery cloth to ensure the seal housing isn’t damaged as they’re not brittle like the stock, hardened shafts.
The shocks are finished with King oil good to -55* F.
Note that all King shocks are built with a plated steel body.
If subjected to inclement weather for extended periods, we recommend wrapping your shocks in 3M to provide a moisture barrier that’s replaceable.
The Pintop rules the bang-for-the-buck, but converting these trucks to long arms opens a whole new world of ride quality and corrected geometry.
Pair the balanced suspension travel (6” up and 6” down) with a 2.5” King for which we developed a new, long-arm specific piston and tuning profile, and you’ll wonder how you ever lived with short arms.
This is a very balanced on-road system and will slay any trail to which you point it.
If you’re not seeing daylight under your tires daily, this is the perfect kit.
