Improvement over stock OE shocks for increased comfort & better handling, both on & off-road

These shocks provide the optimal combination of:

  • Firm and stable handling for driving on desert and fire roads;
  • Plush compliance while off-road driving over washboard;
  • Strong ramping effect for extra bottom-out protection over large dips and washes;
  • Maximum articulation and traction for rock climbing.

The 2.5 RESERVOIR model features adjustable spring preload (on coilover models only) for your specific driving style and terrain conditions. The external reservoir provides extra oil volume and displacement for smoother damping and to prevent damping fading. They come in either a piggyback or remote reservoir version, depending on your vehicle model, year and application.

2.5 RESERVOIR  // BENEFITS

  • Performance off-road capabilities
  • Improved handling and comfort for casual driving
  • Better traction

  • Provides leveling capabilities for better weight distribution

  • Increased protection against bottoming-out

2.5 RESERVOIR // AVAILABLE CONFIGURATIONS

  • 2.5 Front & Rear shocks kit

  • 2.5 Front shocks only

  • 2.5 Rear shocks only

  • Coilover version or damper only depending on vehicle model/year and position

2.5 RESERVOIR // RIDE ENHANCEMENTS

  • Better attenuation of vibration, leading to major noise reduction in the cabin (much less squeak and rattle)

  • Damping characteristics optimized for each truck and setup, providing a smoother ride

  • Increased comfort in both on road and off-road conditions, especially over washboard and square-edge impacts
  • More stable and more predictable handling

  • Reduced front-end diving when cornering or braking

  • Reduced rear-end bucking and lifting

  • Increased damping and spring rate for better handling when towing or loading truck

THREADED SPRING PRELOAD
(COILOVER MODELS ONLY)

Lets the driver fine-tune the initial force applied on the springs and precisely balance the weight distribution across the front and rear wheels while setting up the ride height (ground or chassis clearance) and to lower or raise the vehicle to adapt to various situations or to suit your personal preference. To use, turn the preload adjustment ring clockwise (from top of the shock) to increase preload and raise the vehicle or turn counter-clockwise to reduce preload and lower the vehicle.

ELKA’S UNIQUE BENEFITS

  • Shocks are vehicle-specific and are designed to maximize the potential of that vehicle’s geometry

  • Tuning is optimized for your intended riding style
  • Spring setup according to your weight

  • After-sales support directly from the manufacturer
