Radflo 3.0 Smooth Body Shock w/ Remote Reservoir - 1" Shaft
7SR-001-00
The Radflo 3.0 Remote Reservoir Smooth Body Shock is engineered for high-performance off-road suspension systems that demand maximum damping control, durability, and heat management. Featuring a massive 3.0" shock body, heavy-duty 1" Nitro Steel shaft, and remote reservoir design, this performance suspension shock is built for rock bouncers, Ultra4 cars, desert race trucks, prerunners, trail buggies, and custom long-travel suspension builds. The larger shock body increases oil capacity and cooling efficiency, helping maintain consistent damping performance during high-speed off-road racing, rough terrain, and extended suspension cycling.
At the heart of the shock is Radflo's exclusive Freeflo® Racing Piston technology, which automatically adapts damping characteristics to changing terrain conditions for improved vehicle control, traction, and ride quality. Every shock is custom built and uniquely valved to match your vehicle weight, suspension geometry, and intended use. The remote reservoir further increases fluid capacity while improving thermal stability, making this shock an excellent choice for demanding off-road applications where fade resistance and suspension consistency are critical. Fully rebuildable and revalvable, this smooth body shock is designed to deliver years of reliable performance in the harshest environments.

Tech Insight
What is a smooth body shock?
A smooth body shock is a traditional shock absorber that relies entirely on internal valving for damping control. Unlike bypass shocks, it does not use external bypass tubes, making it a simpler and lighter solution for many off-road suspension applications.
What are the benefits of a remote reservoir shock?
A remote reservoir increases oil volume and cooling capacity, helping reduce heat buildup and maintain consistent damping performance during aggressive off-road driving, racing, and long-distance trail use.
Do smooth body shocks replace coilovers?
No. Smooth body shocks are typically used alongside coilovers or other spring systems to provide additional damping control and improve overall suspension performance.
Can these shocks be rebuilt and revalved?
Yes. Radflo 3.0 shocks are fully rebuildable and revalvable, allowing suspension tuning changes as your vehicle setup, weight, or driving style evolves.
Why choose a 3.0 shock over a 2.5 shock?
A 3.0 shock offers increased oil capacity, greater heat dissipation, and improved damping consistency during extreme use. They are often chosen for heavier vehicles, higher speeds, larger tires, and more demanding off-road racing environments.
