King Shocks 12in 2.5 PR Shock 3 Tube Bypass Piggyback Reservoir Style 5

The 2.5-inch diameter body on this King Shocks bypass shock is constructed from a strong, 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, chosen for its excellent heat dissipation and light weight. This shock features a 3-tube bypass design, allowing for precise tuning of compression and rebound damping by adjusting fluid flow through the bypass tubes. The piggyback reservoir is also made from the same durable aluminum and houses the bypass tubes, keeping them protected and allowing for a more compact installation. This setup is ideal for custom suspension builds where fine-tuning is critical for performance and ride comfort across varied terrain.

King Shocks are well-known for their adjustability and robust construction, and this bypass shock is no exception. The 3-tube bypass allows you to independently control the damping characteristics at different points in the suspension stroke. This means you can set up the shock to be soft on small bumps for a comfortable ride, but firm up significantly during large impacts or hard landings to prevent bottoming out. The piggyback reservoir design not only protects the bypass tubes but also increases the shock's oil capacity, which helps to keep temperatures down during extended use, further improving consistent damping performance. The 12-inch stroke length offers significant travel for applications requiring it.

When installing a custom shock like this, it's important to ensure your vehicle's suspension geometry can properly utilize the travel and adjustability offered. Because this is a universal component for custom builds, you'll want to consult with a suspension specialist or refer to detailed installation guides specific to your vehicle and intended application to ensure proper mounting and tuning for optimal performance and safety.
