King Shocks 12in 3.0 PR 3 Tube Bypass Piggyback Reservoir Style 1

This is a King Shocks 12-inch 3.0 diameter, 3-tube bypass shock with a piggyback reservoir. It's designed for off-road vehicles where you need serious control over suspension performance, especially when tackling rough terrain at speed. The bypass design allows you to tune how the shock reacts to different shaft speeds, giving you a more comfortable ride on choppy surfaces and firmer control when you need it most.

The 3.0-inch body houses a large volume of oil, which helps keep temperatures down during extended use, preventing shock fade. The piggyback reservoir is mounted directly to the shock body, allowing for more oil capacity and better cooling. Inside, the 3-tube bypass system lets you independently adjust compression and rebound damping. The external bypass tubes allow fluid to flow around the main piston at specific points in the stroke, giving you a unique tuning capability. This means you can set up the initial part of the stroke to be softer for small bumps and then ramp up the damping force for larger impacts or landings. The shock is built with a durable aluminum body and features a high-quality shaft for smooth operation.

This shock is a popular choice for custom off-road builds where precise suspension tuning is critical. It's important to note that bypass shocks require careful setup and adjustment to get the most out of them. You'll want to consult with suspension tuning experts or refer to King Shocks' technical documentation to properly dial in the settings for your specific vehicle and driving style. This shock is sold individually.
