Radflo 3.0 Remote Reservoir Coilover Shock – 1" Shaft
7CR-001-00
The Radflo 3.0 Remote Reservoir Coilover Shock is built for high-demand off-road suspension systems where vehicle weight, tire size, horsepower, suspension travel, and repeated impacts can overwhelm smaller shocks. A massive 3.0" shock body, 1" shaft, and remote reservoir provide the fluid volume, damping capacity, and heat management needed for rock bouncers, Ultra4 cars, prerunners, race vehicles, and heavy custom chassis.
Available in 10", 12", 14", and 16" travel lengths, the Radflo 3.0 coilover is fully rebuildable and revalvable so damping can be matched to the vehicle and adjusted as the build evolves. Dual-rate spring hardware is included, while springs are sold separately so spring rate and length can be selected around actual vehicle weight, suspension geometry, and intended use.
Includes:
- (1) Radflo 3.0 Remote Reservoir Coilover Shock
- Dual-Rate Spring Hardware
- Universal Spherical Bearings
- Mounting Hardware
Note: Eibach Coilover Springs are sold separately. Shocks are sold individually.
Availability: Popular Radflo shocks may be available from stock, while custom valving, special-order configurations, and certain travel lengths may require approximately 4–6 weeks. Call Wide Open Design for availability.

Fitment Notes:
- Universal coilover intended for custom off-road suspension systems.
- Available in 10", 12", 14", and 16" travel lengths.
- Select shock travel from actual compressed and extended mounting dimensions, not lift height alone.
- Verify clearance for the 3.0" shock body, coil springs, reservoir, hose, tires, steering, chassis, and surrounding suspension components throughout full travel.
- Remote reservoir hose routing must remain clear of exhaust heat, sharp edges, and moving components.
- Proper spring rates depend on sprung weight, suspension geometry, motion ratio, shock angle, and intended use.
- Coilover springs are sold separately.
- Shocks are sold individually; most axle applications require two.
- Custom valving should be considered for competition vehicles and applications with unusual weight or suspension geometry.
FAQ
What is the difference between a Radflo 3.0 and 2.5 coilover?
The 3.0" shock body provides greater oil volume and damping capacity than a 2.5" coilover. That additional capacity is most useful on heavier vehicles, competition rigs, large-tire builds, and suspension systems that generate significant heat during repeated hard cycling.
Who actually needs a 3.0 coilover shock?
A 3.0 coilover makes the most sense when vehicle weight, speed, tire size, horsepower, suspension travel, or repeated impacts place demands beyond what a smaller shock can comfortably manage. Rock bouncers, Ultra4 cars, prerunners, and heavy competition vehicles are common applications.
Why does the Radflo 3.0 use a remote reservoir?
The reservoir increases available fluid and gas volume while helping manage heat during extended suspension cycling. This improves damping consistency and reduces the likelihood of performance fade during racing or repeated high-energy impacts.
Do Radflo 3.0 coilovers include springs?
No. Dual-rate spring hardware is included, but springs are sold separately so the correct spring rates and lengths can be selected for the vehicle. Learn how to calculate coilover spring rates.
Can Radflo 3.0 remote reservoir coilovers be rebuilt and revalved?
Yes. The shocks are fully rebuildable and revalvable, allowing seals, oil, nitrogen charge, and internal valving to be serviced or changed as vehicle weight, suspension geometry, or performance requirements evolve.
