King Shocks Title Sponsors Laughlin Desert Classic
Posted October 3, 2024
King Off-Road Racing Shocks, sponsor of the Laughlin Desert Classic for 4 years in a row, is a major manufacturer and servicer of custom made adjustable and rebuildable automotive shock absorbers and performance racing products for utility vehicles, OEM replacement and professional racing use.
At Best In The Desert, we say thank you for your continued support of our organization and our dedicated racers.
King prides themselves on putting quality, performance and customer service above all else. Every product they sell is the result of constant testing and development done with top racers in competition worldwide. This real-world testing exposes their designs to a level of abuse and destructive forces that cannot be duplicated in a laboratory. In addition to their busy field-testing schedule, preliminary designs are quantified using their state of the art, electro-magnetic, shock dyno capable of inducing shaft speeds up to 120 inches per second with a drive position resolution of 1 micron. It can play back racecourse data collected from a number of commonly used onboard, automotive data acquisition systems and uses a non-contacting Infrared style transducer to monitor temperature readings. It’s the closest thing to real world conditions without getting sand in your shoes. Their “hands on” experience enables us to make rapid design advancements others haven’t even dreamed up yet.
King’s product line consists of Coilover, Bypass, and Smoothie shocks as well as Bumpstops, tools and racing jacks. Our OEM and UTV upgrade kits offer serious performance upgrades and simple bolt-on installation. They are available for stock vehicles or those modified with aftermarket lift kits or long travel suspensions. King Shocks are serviced using simple hand tools when the time comes. Consumers can order a seal kit and return them to factory fresh condition yourself or send them to the factory for service. All parts used in their products are machined in house at their Garden Grove, California facility from billet alloy materials on precision equipment to exacting standards and hand assembled by our trained technicians.
In addition to the quality and innovative design features you will find on all King Shocks, they provide you with the highest level of customer support. King offers complete tuning and rebuilding services. Their depth of knowledge when it comes to shock tuning and suspension set-up is second to none. They are available on a weekly basis at races, off-road events and tuning sessions helping consumers attain the most effective damping performance from your suspension.
King Shocks also offers design, manufacturing and engineering services for custom one-off applications. King says: If you can dream it, we can build it. When you choose to ride on Kings you can rest assured you will have the finest shocks obtainable.
