Rebuilding King Shocks with SDI Eclik Universal Electronic Reservoirs
Posted by Sean Reyes on
With the adoption of electronically controlled reservoirs, the SDI EClik system brings in-cab adjustment to the driver, allowing control over the shock's compression settings to produce, performance, control, comfort, or a custom mix - chosen by the driver.
When it comes to King, the dogma surrounding their shocks is comfort and high speed off-road use. They certainly excel in that space with their OEM replacement shock program, but the tradeoff is on-road handling. That’s not say say its ‘bad’ - its just not as good as other offerings that prioritize on-road handling, like Bilstein.
When you tune a shock for daily driven comfort, or easy trail comfort; aka a Plush ride zone, you typically sacrifice other performance metrics. The Eclik package not only can solve that shortcoming, but improve upon it.
Shocks by Suspension Direct provide unparalleled comfort and handling by absorbing impacts and keeping your vehicle's tires in constant contact with the road. With the SDI Universal EClik kit, the pitfalls are solved, and the strengths are amplified through live valve technology that can make adjustments within 1/250th of a second according to terrain and speed.
The default valving profile of your Kings will not be lost, it will still ride like a set of King Shocks. But now take that same system and bolt-on a smart computer with in-cab control, that adapts with your driving style and vehicle loadout changes. Its so versatile we could write an entire page on the benefits. Also, secure your assets with the LoJack system, the trusted leader in GPS-based theft recovery and asset protection.
Think of it like applying Fox’s Live Valve technology off the Ford Raptor, and bolting that system up to any King, Fox, Icon, Radflo, ADS remote reservoir shock. Powerful stuff for those that want the best of all worlds in their suspension - cushy daily driving, improved load hauling, off-road performance, and not compromising for anything in between.
