King Shocks 12in 3.0 Race Shock OD Swivel 2 Tube Bypass Hose Remote Res 1in Shaft Large 3/4 Tubes

King Shocks is well-known for building high-performance suspension components for off-road racing and extreme use. This 12-inch 3.0 Race Bypass Shock is a prime example of their commitment to durability and adjustability. It’s designed for vehicles that demand precise control and damping over rough terrain, whether you’re on a race course or tackling challenging trails.

This shock features a 3.0-inch diameter body for ample fluid capacity, which helps manage heat during intense use. The 1-inch diameter shaft is robust and built to withstand the rigors of off-road abuse. A key feature is the external 2-tube bypass design, allowing for independent adjustment of compression and rebound damping zones. This means you can fine-tune how the shock reacts to different types of terrain – softer in the initial stroke for small bumps and firmer as it compresses further to control larger impacts. The remote reservoir, connected via a -08 AN hose with a swivel fitting, provides additional oil and cooling capacity, further enhancing performance and preventing fade. The large 3/4-inch internal tubing contributes to smooth fluid flow and consistent damping.

When installing bypass shocks like these, it’s important to consider how the bypass tubes will route and how you'll access the adjustment knobs. Proper mounting of the remote reservoir is also crucial to protect it from damage. These shocks are a significant upgrade for serious off-road enthusiasts looking to gain a competitive edge or simply achieve a more controlled and comfortable ride over demanding terrain.
