What is the purpose of the external bypass tubes on this shock?

The five external bypass tubes allow you to independently adjust the shock's damping characteristics. By repositioning the bypass slugs, you can control how fluid flows at different points in the suspension travel, offering a tunable ride for various terrain conditions.

How does the piggyback reservoir benefit performance?

The piggyback reservoir increases the shock's oil capacity and helps dissipate heat more effectively. This is crucial for preventing shock fade during prolonged, hard use, such as in racing or aggressive off-roading.

What kind of installation is required for this shock?

This shock is designed for custom applications and requires fabrication expertise for proper installation. It is not a direct bolt-on part for most vehicles and necessitates custom mounting and hose routing.

Product Details

This is the King Shocks 3.5 Race Shock OD Swivel 5 Tube Bypass Piggyback, part number RS3512-BP5P-OS. It's a serious piece of suspension hardware designed for extreme off-road racing and demanding custom builds where precise damping control is critical. The 12-inch stroke and 1-inch shaft are built to handle massive impacts and provide consistent performance over rough terrain.

What sets this shock apart are the five external bypass tubes. These tubes allow you to fine-tune the damping characteristics independently of the main shock body. By adjusting the position of the bypass slugs, you can control how much fluid bypasses the main piston at different points in the suspension travel. This means you can dial in a softer feel for small bumps and washboard roads while still having firm control for large jumps and hard landings. The piggyback reservoir also aids in cooling and allows for more oil capacity, which is crucial for preventing fade during extended, hard use. The swivel fittings make routing the hoses easier and help prevent kinks, a common issue in tight off-road setups.

This shock is a well-built component for those looking to build a high-performance off-road suspension system. It's designed to be mounted in custom applications where precise tuning and robust construction are paramount. Ensure you have the necessary fabrication skills and knowledge to properly integrate this shock into your vehicle's suspension system.
