What is a bypass shock and how does it work?

A bypass shock has external tubes that allow oil to bypass the main piston. This lets you adjust how the shock absorbs bumps, offering more control over compression and rebound for different terrain types. The adjustments are typically made via external knobs on the bypass tubes.

What is the purpose of the piggyback reservoir?

The piggyback reservoir holds extra shock fluid, which helps to keep the shock cooler during intense use. It also increases the shock's oil capacity, leading to more consistent damping performance and preventing fade on long, rough trails.

Does this shock come with mounting hardware?

This shock is sold individually and is designed for custom applications. Mounting hardware is not typically included, as custom builds require specific hardware tailored to the vehicle's suspension design. Refer to your custom suspension kit or fabrication plans for appropriate hardware.

Product Details

When you're building a custom suspension for serious off-road use, controlling your damping is key to handling rough terrain and maintaining stability. This King Shocks 2.0 Bypass Shock is designed to give you that precise control. It features a 3-tube bypass design, allowing you to tune how the shock reacts to different suspension movements. The piggyback reservoir holds extra fluid and helps keep the shock cool under heavy use, which is crucial when you're pushing your vehicle hard.

This shock uses a 7/8 inch shaft and a 2.0 inch diameter body, built with the robust construction King Shocks is known for. The bypass tubes are externally adjustable, meaning you can fine-tune the compression and rebound characteristics without having to disassemble the shock. This is a big deal for getting your suspension dialed in perfectly for your specific vehicle and driving style. It’s a well-built component that’s meant to handle the demands of custom applications where off-the-shelf just won't cut it.

This shock is sold individually. When setting up a custom suspension, you'll typically need a pair for the front or rear axle. It’s important to ensure your mounting points and suspension geometry are designed to accommodate this type of shock absorber. Because this is a bypass shock, it's intended for custom builds where you have the flexibility to tune its performance to your needs.
