King Shocks 25700-429A 2.5 IBP Front Coilover for 2019-2024 Ford Ranger Raptor

Vehicle Fitment

• 2019-2024 Ford Ranger Raptor (P703 Platform, 2.3L EcoBoost I4 Turbo, 4WD)

Fitment Notes

• 25700-429A covers the front position only and is sold as a set of 2 front coilover shocks (left and right). The companion rear 2.5" IBP coilover set for the 2019-2024 Ranger Raptor is King part number 25700-430A.
• 100% bolt-on installation - no cutting, welding, or frame modification required to the vehicle.
• Provides adjustable ride height via the threaded coilover sleeve. An aftermarket upper control arm (UCA) is recommended when running increased ride height to maintain proper alignment geometry and maximize available wheel travel.
• Finned external reservoir with Wide Range Compression Adjuster is included as the standard configuration.
• Fully rebuildable, serviceable, and re-valveable at authorized King Shocks service centers.
• Does not fit the standard (non-Raptor) Ford Ranger. Does not fit the F-150 Raptor - that platform uses King's 3.0" body front coilovers.
• Live valve ride height reset via ForScan is recommended following installation on equipped vehicles.

Features

• King's patented 2.5" Internal Bypass (IBP) design integrates both velocity-sensitive and position-sensitive damping into a single monotube coilover body - providing a pliant, controlled ride across normal travel and delivering a progressive hydraulic bump stop effect as the shock approaches full compression, without requiring a separate external bumpstop component.
• Full-diameter monotube piston with full-size valve stack gives maximum damping control and precise, linear response across the complete stroke - a key advantage of King's monotube architecture over twin-tube designs.
• External finned remote reservoirs, machined from hard-anodized 6063 aluminum, dramatically expand oil and nitrogen gas capacity beyond the shock body alone - reducing operating pressure, extending consistent damping performance, and accelerating heat dissipation during sustained high-speed or off-road use.
• King's Wide Range Compression Adjuster comes standard on the reservoir and offers 20 precise clicks of compression damping tuning - easily dialed by hand without tools from a comfortable on-road setting to a firmer, high-speed off-road calibration.
• All-new threaded end cap with Schrader valve protective cap allows for simple nitrogen charging and reservoir servicing without full shock disassembly.
• Hard-chromed, micro-polished 3/4" shaft with a minimum tensile strength of 100,000 psi and a 6 RA surface finish ensures extended seal life and outstanding corrosion resistance in harsh off-road environments.
• Heat-treated 6061 aluminum alloy piston carries King's proprietary port configurations, delivering the precise, controlled damping response synonymous with King's acclaimed ride quality across all terrain types.
• Rulon composite wear bands maintain piston concentricity under sustained side-load and high-frequency impact, protecting the seals and preserving consistent damping performance throughout the shock's service life.
• Threaded coilover sleeve with pinch bolt adjuster nut enables adjustable ride height and spring preload tuning while providing superior clamping retention without deforming the shock body threads.
• Factory-tuned through extensive electro-magnetic dynamometer testing and real-world punishing off-road validation to produce optimal damping curves and spring rates specifically for the Ranger Raptor's front suspension geometry, weight distribution, and 2.3L EcoBoost powertrain.
• Built from the same high-quality materials and machined to the same precise tolerances as King's top-of-the-line Pure Race series shocks - bringing proven race technology to a direct bolt-on OEM-upgrade package.
• Fully rebuildable and re-valveable - the 25700-429A can be serviced, retuned, or resprung at authorized King service centers as vehicle builds and needs evolve over time.

Product Description

The King Shocks 25700-429A is a pair of 2.5" OEM Performance Series front IBP (Internal Bypass) coilover shocks engineered specifically for the 2019-2024 Ford Ranger Raptor. Developed through King's full R&D process - including electro-magnetic dynamometer validation and punishing real-world testing on the Ranger Raptor platform - these front coilovers are a 100% bolt-on upgrade that replaces the factory front suspension with race-derived, fully adjustable damping. They are designed to be paired with the companion rear coilover set, King part number 25700-430A, for a complete and cohesive suspension transformation across all four corners of the Ranger Raptor. The 25700-429A is purpose-built for the Ranger Raptor's specific front geometry, spring rates, and weight distribution - not a shared or adapted design from a different vehicle platform.

The core technology of the 25700-429A is King's patented Internal Bypass (IBP) system, which adds a secondary bypass piston to the standard monotube architecture. This creates position-sensitive damping zones within the shock travel: in the normal operating range, damping is relatively light and compliant, absorbing small-to-medium inputs smoothly for highway and light off-road comfort. As the shock approaches full compression, the bypass circuit closes and damping resistance increases sharply, creating a hydraulic bump stop that arrests suspension travel and prevents harsh bottom-out without a separate external bumpstop. The result is a front suspension that feels planted and smooth on the road while providing progressively controlled resistance at the limits of travel - critical for the Ranger Raptor's dual role as a capable daily driver and serious performance off-road truck.

Each coilover comes standard with a finned external remote reservoir machined from hard-anodized 6063 aluminum, which expands oil and nitrogen capacity well beyond what the shock body alone can hold. This allows the 25700-429A to operate at lower internal pressures, reducing heat buildup and maintaining consistent damping feel during extended high-speed desert runs, repetitive whoops, or trail driving where lesser shocks begin to fade. The 20-click Wide Range Compression Adjuster on the reservoir allows fine-tuning without tools - making it easy to adapt the front suspension feel to different road surfaces, loads, or driving styles. Like all King OEM Performance products, the 25700-429A is fully rebuildable, revalveable, and respring-able, making it a long-term investment that can grow with the build and be maintained to factory-fresh performance standards at any authorized King service facility.
