What is the benefit of a 3-tube bypass shock?

A 3-tube bypass shock allows you to independently adjust the compression damping at different points in the suspension stroke. This means you can tune the shock for a softer initial compression for small bumps and a firmer compression for larger impacts, offering more control and a better ride.

How does the piggyback reservoir help?

The piggyback reservoir holds extra shock oil, which helps to keep the shock cool under heavy use. This improved cooling prevents shock fade, ensuring consistent damping performance. It also houses the adjustment valves, making it easy to tune the shock's settings.

What else might I need to install these shocks?

Installing these shocks typically requires custom fabrication for mounting points and potentially custom springs to match the shock's stroke and damping. It's recommended to consult with a suspension specialist or refer to manufacturer guidelines for your specific application.

Product Details

If you're building a custom suspension for serious off-road use, you know that controlling wheel travel and damping is key. These King Shocks 2.5-inch bypass shocks are designed to give you that precise control. The 14-inch stroke length is ideal for applications needing significant wheel articulation, and the 3-tube bypass design allows you to fine-tune the damping characteristics independently through different stages of the suspension cycle. This means you can set up the shock to handle big hits on the trail while still providing a comfortable ride on the street.

What sets these shocks apart is the piggyback reservoir. This external reservoir holds extra oil and allows for better heat dissipation, which is crucial for maintaining consistent damping performance during prolonged use, like long desert runs or aggressive rock crawling. The reservoir also houses the adjustment valves, giving you easy access to tune the compression and rebound settings. King Shocks are well-known for their robust construction, using strong materials and precise machining to ensure they can handle the abuse of off-road conditions. The 2.5-inch diameter body offers ample fluid capacity and internal valving space for effective damping.

When setting up a custom suspension like this, it's important to consider the overall system. These shocks are typically used in pairs or sets, and their performance is heavily influenced by the spring rates and mounting points you choose. Because they are adjustable, you can really dial in the ride quality and handling to match your specific vehicle and driving style. They are a solid option for enthusiasts looking to significantly upgrade their vehicle's off-road capability and on-road manners.
