1. O-ring on shaft aids in setting ride height and gauges shaft travel. |
 |
7. The heat treated 6061 aluminum alloy piston has our highly developed port configurations, specific to air shock applications, that contribute to the unique damping performance and famous King ride quality. |
 |
2. Shock cylinders are precision bored to within +/- .001, then honed after cadmium plating to remove buildup for a tight piston seal and optimum valving function. |
 |
8. Heat treated stainless alloy valve shims have a unique grain structure that does not fracture and remains stable at high temperatures to maintain consistent valve function. |
 |
3. Bypass tubes are aircraft quality tig welded to the bodies then pressure tested to 300 psi before getting cadmium plated. Welded and plated bodies are then honed to assure a precision seal and proper valving function. |
 |
9. Wear bands are made from an exclusive Teflon bronze composite that wears longer than any other material available. Overlapping end design enhances sealing. |
 |
4. Bypass tubes offer high flow rates in a compact low profile design. Available in several time tested tube placement patterns or built to your custom specs. High flow bypass valves allow precise adjustability with no unregulated bypass flow. |
 |
10. Gun drilled for weight reduction, large 1-1/4” or 1-5/8” diameter shafts have a minimum tensile strength of 75,000 pounds per square inch. They are hard chromed and micro-polished to a 6 RA finish for extended seal life. |
 |
5. Bypass ports are cnc drilled then hand deburred and polished before welding. |
 |
11. Rod end threads into hollow shaft and rides on steel Teflon lined spherical bearings for smooth articulation and long life with no metal to metal contact. |
 |
6. Aluminum components are machined from aircraft quality billet. |
