Carli's 2.5 Piston

When something is good, you gotta go with it. Carli Suspension pulls out another proprietary tweak to the performance spectrum spread with their King 2.5 shock piston. There's been a couple of pistons that we've tested and found some results on a shock dyno, yet the net effect we were looking for wasn't found... so I introduce the ground up build of a new piston for the King 2.5 off road racing shock. We've been able to get a 2.5 to stand down compression figures that a 3.0 produces with an inordinate amount of dampening during testing, but if you constrict the flow too much, heat becomes an issue. The 3.0 actually cools itself down during dyno testing after being warmed up to over 100 degrees and when we pump up the previous 2.5 piston with a super low flow design, you need gloves to get it off the dyno.

The piston designs born here at Carli Suspension are focused on Total Control. Being able to tune the shock with increased ranges of adjustment allows for an extension of what we've all come to expect from the company. Sweeter street ride and more off road performance all in one package. The pistons are the biggest advancement yet, which wouldn't have even arrived without years of testing and tuning a myriad of shocks in as many applications.

On the tuning bed, a ceiling was approaching working with just valve shims... so after a year of exploring options, the machinist received a PO and now we are the beneficiaries of this initiative. Total Control engineering that results in a technology that you feel in your seat.
