Smooth Body Shocks 2.5 Inch Piggy Back ADS Racing Shocks. When people think of shocks the smooth body shock is what most people picture. Smooth body shocks are designed to dampen the effects of coil springs and leaf springs. Shocks are not designed to support the weight of the vehicle, that is the job of the spring. Without a shock the vehicle spring will cause the vehicle to bounce or respond erratically when the spring compresses and decompresses.
When the suspension moves up and down the shock shaft moves up and down with the suspension. The shaft is attached to a piston which moves through oil inside the shock body. The viscosity of the oil and the valving on the piston dictate how quickly the piston moves through the fluid. This is what controls the spring.
As the suspension moves up and down the kinetic energy created by the motion is converted to heat inside the shock. The heat is transferred to the fluid and then dissipated via the shock body.
A non-race and race smooth body shock look almost identical from the outside. A race quality shock will have a stronger piston, better seals, better fluid, and sometimes better shaft material. This results in a shock that can withstand more abuse and provide longer service life than the non-race version.
Here are some of the features that set ADS Smooth Body Shocks apart from the competition:
