Also see http://www.roadkingshocks.com/ for information about our motor home and RV shock absorbers. The above image contains the following information about the RoadKing class 8 big truck shock absorbers: RoadKing RoadKing shocks typically run for 350,000 to 400,000 miles before rebuilding is necessary. RoadKing shocks have delivered up to double the steer tire mileage over standard OEM and aftermarket shock absorbers. Additional benefits include reduced tire temperatures by up to 30%. Similar performance can also be expected on the drive axle tires. Saving money in today's trucking environment is a good thing. Our customers appreciate the fact that RoadKing truck shocks also offer the ultimate in ride comfort and control. The competition offers a shock absorber that was originally designed for passenger cars and light duty pick-up trucks. RoadKing shock absorbers were designed for heavy trucks. When you compare the RoadKing shock piston displacement area to standard OEM and aftermarket truck shocks, the RoadKing shocks have 280% more piston surface area. The standard OEM and aftermarket shocks have 1.5 square inches of piston area. The RoadKing shock has a large 4.2 square inch piston area that delivers up to 10 times more control force then the competition. RoadKing big bore shocks develop up to 7,500 pounds of control per wheel and because of the lower internal pressures they provide a much lower level of ride harshness. Standard OEM and aftermarket truck replacement shocks produce approximately 1,500 pounds of control force maximum and last for 30,000 miles. The RoadKing heavy truck shock produces up to 7,500 pounds of control force. The huge increase in control force keeps the truck tire connected to the road surface. This is where extended tire mileage and cooler tire tempeatures are achieved. Keeping the truck tire connected to the road surface also greatly reduces the rough ride on rough road surfaces. |
