If you’re serious about hitting the trails or just want a smoother ride on the road, these ADS Racing 2.5 Inch Coil Over Shocks are the real deal. Built to take a beating, these shocks are designed for folks who want durability and performance without the fluff. The coil-over design means you’ve got a coil spring wrapped around the shock body, which gives you that extra support when you need it most.

One of the standout features here is the 7075 aluminum shock piston. This stuff is tough—over twice as strong as the more common 6061 aluminum. That means it can handle the extreme heat and stress that comes from off-road adventures without cracking or warping. And if you’re looking at the 3-inch or larger models, you’ll get an upgraded induction-hardened shaft with a hard chrome finish. Trust me, you want that extra strength when you’re pushing your rig to its limits.

Now, let’s talk about how these shocks work. They convert kinetic energy into heat, which is then absorbed and dissipated by the shock fluid. On the road, the shock shaft doesn’t move much, so heat buildup is pretty minimal. But off-road? That’s a different story. The shaft moves more and faster, generating a lot of heat. With ADS shocks, you’re getting top-notch materials and fluids designed to last, even under those harsh conditions.

Of course, even the best shocks need some TLC now and then. The good news? You can fully disassemble these bad boys with just some basic hand tools. ADS offers replacement parts and accessories, so you can rebuild, upgrade, or revalve them right at home. It’s all about keeping your setup fresh without needing to break the bank.
