What is the purpose of the bypass tubes on this shock?

The bypass tubes allow oil to flow around the main piston at specific points in the suspension travel. This enables independent tuning of compression and rebound damping, letting you fine-tune how the shock reacts to large impacts and bottom-out situations.

Why do the end caps swivel on this King Shocks bypass shock?

The swivel end caps on both the shock body and the reservoir provide flexibility during installation. They allow you to easily position the reservoir for optimal routing and clearance on your vehicle's suspension setup.

What kind of vehicles is this 10-inch stroke shock typically used for?

This 10-inch stroke race shock is commonly used in custom suspension builds for off-road vehicles, such as trucks and buggies, where significant suspension travel and precise damping control are required for extreme terrain and racing.

Product Details

The 3.5-inch diameter body on this King Shocks bypass shock, combined with its 1-inch diameter shaft, is built to handle the rigors of serious off-road racing and extreme terrain. This shock features a three-tube bypass design, allowing for precise tuning of compression and rebound damping independently of the main piston. The piggyback reservoir, which swivels for easier installation and better routing, holds extra fluid and dissipates heat more effectively, crucial for maintaining consistent performance during long, demanding runs.

Constructed with a robust, thick-wall steel body, this shock is designed to withstand impacts and the harsh environments typical of off-road use. The swivel end caps on both the body and the reservoir make installation more flexible, allowing you to position the reservoir exactly where you need it without fighting the hose. The bypass tubes are strategically placed to allow oil to flow around the main piston at specific points in the suspension travel, giving you the ability to fine-tune how the shock reacts to large impacts and bottom-out situations. This level of adjustability is key for optimizing suspension performance for specific vehicles and driving styles.

This King Shocks bypass shock is a popular choice for builders looking to create a highly tunable suspension system for trucks and off-road vehicles. While the bypass tubes offer significant tuning potential, remember that proper setup and adjustment often require experience or consultation with a suspension specialist to achieve the best results for your application. The 10-inch stroke length provides ample travel for many custom suspension setups.
