King Shocks is a premier manufacturer of custom-made, adjustable and rebuildable automotive shock absorbers and high-performance racing suspension products. Based in Garden Grove, California, we serve professional desert racing teams, off-road enthusiasts, utility vehicles, and OEM applications alike.
Our origins trace back to the early 1980s when founder Lance King began designing shocks capable of enduring the extreme demands of desert racing—when even the fastest vehicles would rely on multiple shocks per wheel to survive the terrain.
In 1996, the company officially opened its doors, driven by a belief in high-quality materials, rigorous testing, and racing DNA in every unit.
At King Shocks, every product is built with a performance-first mindset:
We believe you shouldn’t have to compromise between durability and performance—and you shouldn’t settle for “off-the-shelf” when your application is anything but ordinary. At King Shocks, we are committed to delivering suspension solutions that are built for the worst terrain, the highest speeds, and the longest races… yet remain serviceable, tunable, and backed by our support.
When you pull a set of King Shocks onto your vehicle, you’re riding on a legacy of off-road dominance, precision engineering, and customer driven service. Let us elevate your ride. Whatever the terrain. Whatever the challenge. Ride King.
