Radflo 2.5 Short Body Remote Reservoir Coilover Shock - 12" Travel, 90° Fittings
6CR-011-90
The Radflo 2.5" x 12" Short Body Remote Reservoir Coilover Shock is designed for builders who need premium suspension performance in a compact package. The short-body design helps maximize suspension travel where chassis clearance, ride height, steering components, drivetrain placement, or suspension geometry limit the space available for a traditional coilover.
Built around Radflo's proven 2.5" shock body, heavy-duty 7/8" Nitro Steel® shaft, and remote reservoir, this coilover delivers increased oil capacity, heat management, and tunable damping for demanding off-road use. The included 90-degree reservoir fittings simplify hose routing in tight installations, making this shock well suited for rock crawlers, rock bouncers, Ultra4 cars, tube chassis vehicles, and other custom builds where every inch of packaging space matters.
Includes:
- (1) Radflo 2.5" x 12" Short Body Remote Reservoir Coilover Shock
- Remote Reservoir with 90° Fittings
- Dual-Rate Spring Hardware
Availability Note: As the #1 stocking warehouse for Radflo Performance Shocks, we maintain one of the largest inventories of Radflo coilovers and springs in the industry. While many popular shock configurations are available for immediate shipment, custom-valved and special-order configurations may require 4–6 weeks for production and delivery.

Fitment
Universal coilover for custom front or rear off-road suspension applications.
Common Applications:
- Rock Crawlers
- Rock Bouncers
- Ultra4 Cars
- Custom Tube Chassis Vehicles
- High-Performance Trail Rigs
- High-Clearance Suspension Systems
- Custom Off-Road Fabrication Projects
Fitment Notes:
- Designed for tight mounting locations where a standard-length coilover creates packaging limitations.
- Verify shock mounting space, compressed length, extended length, and suspension travel before ordering.
- 90-degree reservoir fittings provide additional flexibility when routing reservoir hoses through tight chassis layouts.
- Verify clearance around steering components, suspension links, chassis tubing, drivetrain components, and tires throughout the complete suspension cycle.
- Spring rates and shock valving should be selected around vehicle weight, suspension geometry, and intended use.
- Requires custom mounting and suspension setup.
FAQ
What is a short-body coilover?
A short-body coilover packages the shock into a more compact overall design, helping builders fit the required suspension travel into applications where chassis space or mounting height is limited.
Why choose a short-body coilover instead of a standard coilover?
The primary advantage is packaging. A short-body shock can help create clearance around chassis tubing, steering components, drivetrain parts, fuel cells, and suspension mounts while allowing the builder to retain the desired suspension travel.
What are the advantages of a remote reservoir?
A remote reservoir increases shock fluid capacity and provides additional space for the nitrogen charge, helping manage heat and maintain more consistent damping during demanding off-road use.
Why does this coilover use 90-degree reservoir fittings?
The 90-degree fittings make reservoir hose routing easier in tight chassis layouts where straight fittings may create interference with chassis tubing, suspension components, steering, or drivetrain parts.
Do Radflo 2.5 Short Body Coilovers include springs?
No. Springs are sold separately so the spring rates can be matched to vehicle weight, suspension geometry, shock angle, and intended use. Learn how to calculate coilover spring rates.
