King Shocks 12in 2.0 PR Shock 2 Tube Bypass Piggyback Reservoir 7/8 Shaft Style 5

The 7/8 inch shaft on this King Shocks 2.0 bypass shock is a key indicator of its robust construction, designed to handle significant loads and impacts. This shock absorber features a piggyback reservoir with two bypass tubes, allowing for precise, external adjustment of damping characteristics. This means you can fine-tune how the shock reacts to terrain, whether you're crawling over rocks or hitting high-speed desert whoops. The bypass tubes allow oil to flow around the main piston at specific points in its travel, offering a more controlled compression and rebound than a standard shock.

Built with King Shocks' reputation for performance in mind, this unit is intended for serious off-road applications where custom tuning is essential. The 2.0-inch diameter body houses the main damping mechanism, while the external reservoir provides additional oil capacity to help manage heat during extended use. This heat dissipation is crucial for maintaining consistent damping performance, preventing fade when the going gets tough. The piggyback design also allows for easier mounting of the reservoir, often providing more flexibility in placement on custom suspension setups.

When installing these shocks, remember that they are designed for custom applications and may require fabrication for proper mounting. It's recommended to consult with a suspension specialist to ensure correct installation and to take full advantage of the adjustable bypass features. This shock is a well-built component for those looking to build a highly capable off-road vehicle where precise suspension control is paramount.
