What is a bypass shock and how does it differ from a standard shock?

A bypass shock has external tubes with ports that allow fluid to bypass the main piston. This lets you tune the damping force independently at different points in the shock's travel, offering more adjustability for comfort and control over varied terrain compared to a standard shock.

What is the purpose of the remote reservoir?

The remote reservoir holds extra shock fluid, which increases cooling capacity and prevents the shock from overheating and losing performance (shock fade) during intense use. It also allows for more precise tuning of the damping characteristics.

What kind of vehicle is this shock typically used on?

This type of bypass shock is commonly used on high-performance off-road vehicles, such as custom trucks, buggies, and rock crawlers, where precise suspension tuning and durability are essential for extreme terrain.

Product Details

King Shocks is well-known for building high-performance suspension components for off-road racing and extreme use. This 16-inch 3.0 bypass shock absorber, part number PR3016-BP3H-1, is a prime example of their commitment to advanced suspension technology. It's designed to give you exceptional control and adjustability over rough terrain, allowing your vehicle to handle impacts and maintain traction where other shocks would struggle.

This shock features a 3-tube bypass design, which means it offers multiple stages of damping control. As the piston moves through the shock body, it can bypass fluid through different ports in the external tubes. This allows for fine-tuning of the compression and rebound characteristics, giving you a more comfortable ride on choppy surfaces and improved control during hard impacts. The remote reservoir is connected via a hose, providing additional oil capacity and cooling, which is crucial for preventing shock fade during prolonged use or high-speed driving. The 3.0-inch diameter shock body itself offers a large volume of damping fluid and a robust construction capable of handling significant forces.

This bypass shock is a serious upgrade for vehicles used in demanding off-road applications. It allows for a unique tuning experience, letting you dial in the suspension to match specific terrain and driving styles. While installation requires expertise in suspension systems, the adjustability and performance gains are substantial for those looking to push their vehicle's capabilities further.
