Radflo 2.5 Remote Reservoir Coilover Shock – 7/8" Shaft
6CR-001-00
The Radflo 2.5 Remote Reservoir Coilover Shock is designed for off-road builds that need more damping capacity, oil volume, and heat control than a smaller 2.0 shock can provide. With a 2.5" shock body, heavy-duty 7/8" shaft, remote reservoir, and dual-rate spring hardware, this coilover is well suited for heavier vehicles, larger tires, long-travel suspension systems, and aggressive terrain where consistent shock performance matters.
Available in 8", 10", 12", 14", 16", and 18" travel lengths, the Radflo 2.5 coilover is fully rebuildable and revalvable for long-term serviceability and suspension tuning. Springs are sold separately so the correct rates can be matched to vehicle weight, suspension geometry, and intended use. Popular configurations are commonly stocked, while custom valving and special-order combinations may require additional lead time.
Includes:
- (1) Radflo 2.5 Remote Reservoir Coilover Shock
- Dual-Rate Spring Hardware
- Universal Spherical Bearings
- Mounting Hardware
Note: Eibach Coilover Springs are sold separately. Shocks are sold individually.

Fitment Notes:
- Universal coilover shock intended for custom suspension applications.
- Select shock travel based on available suspension travel, mounting position, and chassis clearance.
- Verify compressed and extended shock lengths before selecting travel.
- Proper spring rates must be selected based on vehicle weight, suspension geometry, motion ratio, and intended use.
- Coilover springs are sold separately.
- Verify clearance for the remote reservoir, hose routing, springs, tires, steering components, and chassis throughout the full suspension cycle.
- Reservoir hose should be routed away from exhaust heat, sharp edges, and moving suspension components.
- Shocks are sold individually; most axle applications require two shocks.
- Custom valving may be required depending on vehicle weight, suspension geometry, terrain, and driving style.
FAQ
What is the advantage of a 2.5 coilover over a 2.0 coilover?
A 2.5" shock body holds more oil and uses a larger piston area than a 2.0 shock, providing greater damping capacity and improved heat management. This makes the larger shock better suited for heavier vehicles, larger tires, longer suspension travel, and more aggressive off-road use.
Why choose a remote reservoir coilover?
A remote reservoir increases total fluid and nitrogen volume while moving part of the shock's internal volume outside the main body. This helps manage heat and maintain more consistent damping during repeated suspension cycling and extended off-road use.
How do I choose the correct coilover travel length?
Shock travel should be selected from the actual suspension geometry, not tire size or lift height alone. Measure the available compressed and extended mounting lengths while cycling the suspension, then choose a shock that stays within its operating range without bottoming internally or limiting droop.
Do Radflo 2.5 coilovers include springs?
No. Dual-rate spring hardware is included, but coil springs are sold separately so the correct spring rates and lengths can be matched to the vehicle. Learn how to calculate coilover spring rates.
Can Radflo 2.5 remote reservoir coilovers be rebuilt and revalved?
Yes. These shocks are fully rebuildable and revalvable. Seals, oil, nitrogen charge, and internal valving can be serviced or changed as the vehicle setup and suspension requirements evolve.
