It’s no surprise that the Ford Raptor is selling like hotcakes. It’s a tough, great-looking truck in any of the vibrant colors available, even white. The Raptor is one of the few production trucks ever built that attempts to bridge the gap between a stock truck and a purpose-built prerunner.

Twice the piston area vs. stock

With a King performance upgrade, the Raptor will work even better. King 3” diameter shocks have over twice the piston area compared to the stock shocks. This means they generate substantially greater damping force, for a smoother and more controlled ride without compromising on-road comfort. The King Shocks performance kit for the Raptor increases wheel travel and allows precise adjustability to suit your preferences and driving style.

Ultimate adjustability

The front 3” diameter coilover with remote, nitrogen-charged reservoir can be adjusted for ride height and spring preload. As well, the 20 positive clicks from the wide-range compression adjuster control the front compression damping from very soft to very firm. In the rear, the kit uses a race-bred 3” diameter, triple bypass shock with a nitrogen-charged “piggyback” reservoir. The triple bypass shock has externally adjustable bypass valves that control two stages of compression and a stage of rebound. The shock comes pre-adjusted from the factory, but you can alter the settings if you are hauling bikes or gear in the bed, towing, or heading out on a long, off-road trip.

Race-proven performance

This kit was extensively tested in South America during the Dakar Rally by the American team of Darren Skilton, Sue Mead, Troy Johnson, and Dan Moore. The team survived the grueling 6,000-mile, 16-day event, winning the class in a Raptor equipped with the same 3” King shocks.

With this unparalleled performance, you also get great value. When your King shocks do start to wear, you don’t throw them away like most shocks. They are designed to be taken apart and rebuilt for many more years of reliable service. They’ve even been known to outlast the life of the vehicle.

If you want the ultimate Ford Raptor, you need a King performance upgrade kit. When you ride on King shocks, you’ll know there really is a difference. Nothing rides like a King.
