About King Shocks
King Shocks develops rebuildable off-road and performance dampers, bump stops, and service components. Small differences in shock diameter, port thread, rod end, shaft, pressure range, and mounting style determine compatibility, so selection must follow the exact component configuration.

FAQ
What is the OPT-PR25-1050?It is a one-piece protective shaft guard for a compatible King 2.5-inch smooth-body shock.
Does it fit every 2.5-inch King shock?No. The shock must use compatible rod-end or shaft hardware with the required mounting groove.
Can it fit an older King shock?Some older shocks require an updated rod end or complete shaft assembly before the guard can be installed.
How many guards are included?One shaft guard is supplied, so a pair of shocks normally requires two guards.
What material is used?The verified exact-product data identifies glass-filled PA66 polymer construction.
How tall is the guard?The published height is seven inches.
Will it affect suspension travel?The installer must cycle the suspension and confirm that the guard clears the body, spring, reservoir hose, chassis, tire, and nearby hardware through full travel and steering.
Does the shock need to be removed?Installation access depends on the shock and mounting layout; follow the current King instructions and service the shock only with appropriate tools and training.
Installation Instructions
- Identify the exact 2.5-inch smooth-body shock and confirm that its rod end or shaft has the required guard-mounting groove.
- Inspect older shocks for the updated rod end or shaft assembly required by King's current compatibility guidance.
- Safely unload the suspension and remove or reposition the shock only as required by the vehicle and shock service procedures.
- Fit the guard to the supported groove without forcing, cutting, heating, or drilling the component.
- Cycle the suspension and steering through the available range to verify clearance around the shock body, spring, reservoir hose, chassis, tire, and mounting hardware.
- Reinstall and torque any disturbed hardware to the applicable specifications, then recheck guard retention after the initial drive.
