ADS Racing 2.5 Inch Coil Over Shocks - Built for the Long Haul

If you’re serious about your ride, whether you’re hitting the trails or cruising down the highway, these ADS Racing Coil Over Shocks are where it’s at. They’re designed to be tough, and I mean really tough. The whole idea behind coil overs is simple: you get a coil spring wrapped around a shock absorber, which means you get better control and a smoother ride. Trust me, once you’ve got these on, you’ll notice the difference.

Let’s talk materials for a second. These shocks come with a 7075 aluminum shock piston, which is more than twice as strong as the usual 6061 aluminum. That means they’re built to withstand the kind of heat and stress you get when you’re off-roading. If you’re going for the 3-inch or larger diameter options, you’ll find they’ve upgraded to induction hardened shafts with a hard chrome finish. This is all about durability, especially when you’re pushing these shocks to their limits.

Now, if you’re wondering how these shocks actually work, here’s the scoop: they convert kinetic energy into heat, which is then absorbed and dissipated by the shock fluid. On the road, the shaft doesn’t move much, so there’s not a ton of heat generated. But when you’re off-road, that shaft is working hard, moving a lot more, and generating heat like crazy. That’s why having strong materials is crucial for longevity. ADS has nailed it with the best materials and fluids, so you can count on these shocks to last.

Of course, even the best shocks might need a little TLC down the line. The cool thing about ADS is that you can completely disassemble them with just some basic hand tools. They even offer replacement parts and accessories, so you can rebuild, upgrade, or revalve them right at home. No need to send them off somewhere or break the bank.

Specs You Should Know:

Features That Matter:
