ADS Racing 2.5" Coil Over Shocks with Reservoir

If you're serious about hitting the trails or just want to improve your daily drive, these ADS coil over shocks are built to take a beating and keep on going. The design is pretty straightforward—it's a coil spring wrapped around a shock absorber. But don’t let the simplicity fool you; these bad boys are engineered with some serious tech to handle whatever you throw at them.

First off, the materials used here are top-notch. We're talking about a 7075 aluminum shock piston, which is more than twice as strong as the standard 6061. This means you won’t have to worry about cracking or warping, especially when you’re pushing the limits off-road. For the heavier-duty 3-inch and larger models, they even use induction-hardened shafts with a hard chrome finish. This upgrade is crucial for handling the extreme demands of larger shocks.

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 shock shaft barely moves, so heat buildup is minimal. But off-road? That’s a different story. The shaft moves more, generating a lot of heat. That's where the strength of these materials really shines. With the right fluids and construction, ADS shocks are built for the long haul.

But let’s be real—no shock is invincible. Sooner or later, you’ll need to rebuild them. The good news? These shocks can be fully disassembled with just some basic hand tools. ADS even offers replacement parts and accessories, making it easy to rebuild or upgrade them right at home.
