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

The bypass tubes allow for independent adjustment of the shock's damping force. You can tune how the shock behaves during different stages of its travel, offering more control over the suspension's response.

Does this shock come with mounting hardware?

This product listing is for the shock absorber assembly itself. Mounting hardware is typically sold separately or may be integrated into your vehicle's existing suspension setup. Please refer to the manufacturer's details for specific hardware inclusions.

How do I adjust the bypass tubes?

Adjustment of the bypass tubes is typically done by rotating collars or screws located on the bypass tubes themselves. Specific adjustment procedures and recommended settings should be obtained from King Shocks' technical documentation or a qualified suspension professional.

Product Details

What you get with this King Shocks RS2516-BP3P is a single 16-inch long, 2.5-inch diameter race shock. It features a 7/8-inch diameter shaft and a piggyback reservoir. The shock also includes three large, 3/4-inch diameter bypass tubes, which are key to its adjustability and performance characteristics.

This shock is built for serious off-road use where precise damping control is crucial. The bypass tubes allow you to tune the shock's damping force independently of the main piston. By adjusting the flow of fluid through these tubes, you can alter how the shock behaves during different parts of its travel – softer in the initial compression and rebound, firmer as it compresses further, or vice versa. This level of adjustability is what separates race shocks from standard ones, letting you dial in the suspension for specific terrain or driving styles. The piggyback reservoir helps manage heat buildup during extended use, ensuring consistent performance even under heavy loads.

King Shocks are well-known in the off-road community for their robust construction and performance. This particular shock is a solid option if you're building a custom suspension system and need a shock absorber that offers extensive tuning capabilities. Because this is a universal race shock, you'll need to ensure it fits your vehicle's mounting points and suspension travel requirements. It's always a good idea to consult with a suspension specialist or refer to King Shocks' technical documentation to confirm proper installation and setup for your specific application.
