King Shocks 16in 3.0 PR Shock 2 Tube Bypass Piggyback Reservoir Style 1

The 3.0-inch diameter body on this King Shocks bypass shock is a key indicator of its robust construction and capability. This larger diameter allows for more oil capacity and better heat dissipation, which is crucial for maintaining consistent damping performance during demanding off-road use. The 2-tube bypass design means you have an independent damping circuit for compression and rebound, giving you more control over how the suspension reacts to terrain.

This shock features a piggyback reservoir, which is mounted directly to the shock body. This setup is ideal for applications where space is limited but you still need the benefits of external oil and damping adjustment. The reservoir holds extra oil, further aiding in cooling, and it houses the bypass tubes. These tubes allow oil to flow around the main piston at specific points in the stroke, letting you tune the compression and rebound characteristics. You can adjust the feel of the suspension by changing how much oil bypasses the piston, offering a more refined ride over various surfaces without sacrificing bottom-out resistance.

King Shocks are well-known in the off-road community for their durability and tunable performance. This particular shock is built to handle the rigors of serious off-roading, providing improved control and a more comfortable ride over rough terrain. While specific vehicle fitment isn't listed here, shocks like these are often used in custom suspension builds for trucks and off-road vehicles where precise damping control is a priority. Installation typically involves mounting the shock and connecting the reservoir, often requiring custom fabrication for optimal placement and performance tuning.
