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

The bypass tubes allow you to externally adjust the compression damping. This means you can fine-tune how the shock absorbs bumps and impacts, giving you more control over your vehicle's ride quality and handling in different conditions.

What does the 'swivel' feature on the reservoir mean?

The swivel design allows the reservoir to rotate independently of the shock body. This makes it easier to position and route the reservoir hose in tight spaces, ensuring a clean installation and preventing kinks or interference with other components.

Is this shock designed for a specific type of off-roading?

This shock is a race-oriented bypass shock, built for high-performance applications. It's ideal for vehicles used in desert racing, rock crawling, or any situation where precise, adjustable damping is needed to handle extreme terrain and high speeds.

Product Details

King Shocks is well-known for building high-performance suspension components for off-road racing and extreme use. This 14-inch 3.0 Race Shock OD Swivel 3 Tube Bypass Piggyback shock is a prime example of their commitment to advanced suspension technology. It's designed to give you precise control and adjustability over a wide range of terrain, from high-speed desert runs to technical rock crawling.

This shock features a 3.0-inch diameter main body for ample fluid capacity and heat dissipation, crucial for maintaining consistent performance under heavy loads and long travel cycles. The 1-inch diameter shaft is robust and built to withstand the rigors of demanding off-road conditions. A key feature is the piggyback reservoir, which houses the adjustable bypass tubes. This setup allows for external tuning of compression damping, giving you the ability to fine-tune the ride characteristics for specific conditions or driver preference without needing to disassemble the shock. The large 3/4-inch bypass tubes offer a wide range of adjustment, letting you dial in the exact feel you need.

The swivel design on the reservoir allows for easier mounting and routing in tight engine bays or complex suspension setups. While this shock is built for performance, it's important to note that proper installation and tuning are key to unlocking its full potential. It's recommended to consult with suspension specialists or refer to King Shocks' technical documentation for optimal setup and adjustment procedures to match your vehicle and driving style.
