King Shocks 12in 3.5 Race Shock 3 Tube Bypass Piggyback 1in Shaft Large 3/4 Bypass Tubes

When you're pushing your vehicle to its limits off-road, especially in demanding race conditions, the right suspension components are critical. This King Shocks 3.5 Race Shock is built to handle the abuse and provide precise control when you need it most. It features a 12-inch stroke for extensive travel, a robust 1-inch diameter shaft, and a large 3/4-inch diameter for the bypass tubes, all housed within a 3.5-inch diameter shock body. The piggyback reservoir design allows for increased oil capacity and better cooling, which is essential for maintaining consistent damping performance during long, hard runs.

What sets this shock apart is its three-tube bypass system. These bypass tubes allow you to tune the shock's damping characteristics independently of the main piston. By adjusting the flow of oil through these external tubes, you can fine-tune how the shock reacts to different terrain and speeds. For instance, you can soften the compression in the initial part of the stroke for better small bump absorption while maintaining firm control during deep compression, or adjust the rebound to prevent packing up on whoops. This level of adjustability is what serious off-roaders and racers rely on to optimize their suspension for specific conditions and driving styles.

Constructed with King Shocks' well-known attention to detail, this race shock is designed for durability and performance. The large 3.5-inch body provides ample fluid volume to dissipate heat, reducing the risk of shock fade. The piggyback reservoir is easily mounted to the shock body or frame, and its design helps keep the shock cool under extreme loads. While this shock offers advanced tuning capabilities, it's important to understand that setting up bypass shocks effectively often requires experience or consultation with suspension specialists to achieve the desired performance for your specific application.
