The King Shocks shock absorber kit for Land Rover Defender is a high-performance suspension solution developed for users who demand maximum control, strength, and reliability in severe off-road driving, long-distance expeditions, and intensive use with heavy loads.
King Off-Road Racing Shocks is a world-leading manufacturer in off-road racing, and this technology is transferred directly to this Defender-specific kit, combining remote-reservoir shock absorbers with reinforced shock towers, designed to withstand extreme use without compromising durability or dynamic performance.
This set is designed for Defenders equipped with bumpers, winches, auxiliary fuel tanks, overlanding equipment, constant loads, or professional-use equipment, where the factory suspension clearly falls short.
Main Technical Features
- King Shocks 2.0 / 2.5 shock absorbers (depending on configuration)
- Remote reservoir for increased thermal capacity
- Machined aircraft-grade aluminum body
- High-strength chrome-plated shafts
- Internal valving optimized for Defender
- Increased usable suspension travel
- Improved compression and rebound control
- Consistent performance even during prolonged use
- Rebuildable and serviceable design (long service life)
Reinforced Shock Towers Included
The kit includes Defender-specific shock towers, designed to:
- Increase suspension travel
- Reinforce the original mounting points
- Prevent structural fatigue of the chassis
- Ensure correct shock absorber geometry
- Support remote reservoirs without vibrations or stress
Made from high-strength steel with a protective finish, they are a key component for getting the most out of the King shock absorbers.
