:D
It goes squishy squishy :flipoff2:
Adam@KARS 02-06-2010, 06:14 PM I'm going to guess that it might compete with ori's or possibly be a bypass air shock either one would be cool. I will definately be willing to do some testing::grinpimp::
blazing rockwells 02-07-2010, 05:50 PM i will do some testing as well, i will do another jump in this beast and will see if they hold up

sure you would :flipoff2:
I was hoping to see this shock today when I walked through the trailer but all I saw was a wall of the shocks you already offer.
Did I miss it or will it be revealed sometime before the end of KOH?

Ballistic Eng 02-13-2010, 05:56 PM The door was open every day except for race day. The shock to be unveiled was the new Ballistic Reservoir air shock.
mikegyver1 02-13-2010, 08:17 PM Hey Jeff,
I just want to say thanks for the great quality products you and your guys are producing. Ballistic Fab will be my first choice of products for my next build.. Mad Props :flipoff2:

Buddha 02-14-2010, 10:42 AM Was in Hammertown on Wed. Door closed and then race day. No worries. :)

You aren't very observant. It was right on the wall. :shaking:
Nice to meet you guys at the race. :smokin:
72dozer 02-14-2010, 01:20 PM so guys what kind of price are we tlking on these new shocks
Adam@KARS 02-14-2010, 03:49 PM Is this going to help with the inevidable fading that happens in an air shock?
Also is it going to be in 2" and 2.5" I just dont see that much of an advantage to why you just wouldn't go to a coilover.
PhillipM 02-14-2010, 04:11 PM Might do in some things, I was after a 2.0 airshock to fit in a tight mounting that you couldn't get a coil on, but I was worried about the heat level and ended up making a fancy linkage, these might have been the ideal solution.

Ballistic Air Shock with Reservoir *NEW!*
The Ballistic Air Shock with Reservoir is designed to support the weight of your vehicle as well as provide the dampening of a conventional shock. This is ideal for light to medium weight vehicles, and provides a non-linear shock rate to help avoid bottoming out. The reservoir allows better cooling efficiency than normal air shocks resulting in better on-road performance and improved reduction in shock and spring fade. The Ballistic Air Shock is constructed from the highest quality materials available and is manufactured on state of the art machining centers to exacting tolerances.
* 2.5" Reservoir provides better cooling efficiency reducing the effects of shock and spring fade and body roll
* Features a LARGER 2.125" Body with 1.375" shaft to handle heavier loads
*Aerospace grade "nitro coat" heavy duty shaft to extend seal life and performance
* Lightweight aluminum body construction
* High quality spherical rod ends with 303 stainless steel spacers
* No need for springs or extra shocks
Check them out here! (http://www.ballisticfabrication.com/NEW-Ballistic-Air-Shock-with-Reservoir_p_1723.html#)
We had to beef up the reservoir and eliminate the current style of hose to withstand the high pressures generated at the end of the reservoir.
During testing we have also noticed that the vehicle tends to self level out alot better than with standard air shocks after a hard turn.
The shocks will be available in ALL standard sizes including 2.125" and 2.5" bodies.

gtxracer 02-15-2010, 01:13 PM Got an estimated street price for us poor folks? :D
87JeepWrangler 02-16-2010, 09:14 AM Got an estimated street price for us poor folks? :D
and an estimated time?
are these air shocks with a reservoir also bypass shocks? or just airshocks with a res?
maybe you could chime in on the air bypass thread in the general section right now.
MUDYCRAWLER 02-16-2010, 11:00 AM Thanks guys for bringing that portable show room out to KOH. Lots of cool stuff and that new shock was intresting too.
COPPERHEAD42 02-16-2010, 11:07 AM and an estimated time?

I believe it is just a air shock with a reservoir. Maybe a bypass air shock in the future :idea: I linked this thread in the bypass airshock thread in general
CRAZYS 02-22-2010, 12:31 PM Pics please!
DrVic723 02-22-2010, 12:56 PM It is an air shock with a built up reservoir and custom tuned valving / piston. Pics to come soon - Jeff
torquefreak 02-25-2010, 11:37 AM Any pics yet?
bossman79 02-26-2010, 10:44 AM I can't believe nobody got a pic of this at ko
MudKick 02-26-2010, 02:18 PM So are you guys gonna stick with that clear body design?
:smokin:
... just kiddin...

spidr 02-26-2010, 05:34 PM Sweet.
You guys got weight ratings figured out yet?
DrVic723 02-26-2010, 08:03 PM We're going with the same as the standard air shocks, 1,000 lbs for 2.125" and 1,400lbs for the 2.5" max psi 450.
