The Carli signature tuned King 3.0 shocks are the ultimate bolt in shock upgrade for your Carli equipped Ford Superduty. Carli spent several years working with King perfecting the fitment of this shock package. The result, offset upper stem-top and lower shock mounts to squeeze these massive, 10″ travel front shocks in place. This means no cutting or welding on the factory buckets to fit the shocks in the front. The rear shocks are a matched piggy-back reservoir configuration and weld in shock mounts are included to offset the oversized shock body away from the frame and also add strength to the upper rear mount.
There is no replacement for displacement as the adage goes. The 3.0" shock has a piston surface area 45% greater than the King 2.5" and 126% larger than a factory 2.0" shock. This makes the 3.0" far more efficient in all situations and ensures optimal off-road performance. The shafts are machined and polished from a solid piece of 17-4 Stainless. Unlike King’s standard shafts, there is no coating to wear off, weather is far less likely to hurt them and 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, Carli recommends wrapping your shocks in 3M to provide a moisture barrier that’s replaceable.
