What is the benefit of a remote reservoir on this shock?

The remote reservoir holds extra oil and gas, which helps to keep the shock cooler during intense use. This increased cooling prevents shock fade and maintains consistent damping performance, especially during long off-road runs or high-speed driving.

How do the bypass tubes affect the shock's performance?

The bypass tubes allow you to adjust the damping force at specific points in the suspension stroke, independently of the main shock body. This means you can fine-tune how the suspension reacts to different types of impacts, from small bumps to large landings, giving you more control over the ride quality and handling.

What kind of installation is typically required for this type of shock?

Installing a bypass shock like this often requires custom fabrication. You'll need to determine the best location for the shock, the bypass tubes, and the remote reservoir, which may involve welding or fabricating mounting brackets to ensure proper function and clearance.

Product Details

When you're pushing your off-road vehicle to its limits, especially in demanding terrain like desert racing or rock crawling, having suspension that can keep up is crucial. This King Shocks 3.0 Race Shock is built to handle those extreme conditions, offering advanced adjustability and robust construction to manage heat and impact far beyond what standard shocks can handle.

This shock features a 3.0-inch diameter body, which is larger than typical shocks, allowing for more oil capacity. More oil means better heat dissipation, which is critical for maintaining consistent damping performance during long, hard runs where shocks can overheat and fade. The 1-inch diameter shaft is strong and durable, designed to withstand the rigors of off-road abuse. A key feature is the three-tube bypass design, which allows you to fine-tune the damping characteristics at different points in the suspension stroke. The external bypass tubes let you adjust compression and rebound independently, giving you precise control over how the suspension reacts to bumps and landings. This level of adjustability is what separates race-proven suspension from standard setups, enabling you to dial in the ride for specific tracks or driving styles.

The remote reservoir is another important component for high-performance off-road use. It holds additional oil and gas, further aiding in cooling and providing a larger volume of damping fluid. The reservoir is connected via a hose, allowing for flexible mounting options on your vehicle's chassis or suspension components. This shock is a well-built piece of equipment designed for those who demand the most from their suspension system. While installation requires a good understanding of suspension setups and potentially custom fabrication for mounting the reservoir and bypass tubes, the adjustability and performance gains are significant for serious off-road applications.
