King Shocks 16in 3.0 Race Shock 5 Tube Bypass Hose Remote Reservoir 1in Shaft Large 3/4 Bypass Tubes

This is a King Shocks 16-inch 3.0 Race Shock with a 5-tube bypass and remote reservoir, part number RS3016-BP5H. It's built for serious off-road use where precise damping control is critical. The large 3/4 inch bypass tubes allow for fine-tuning of the suspension's compression and rebound characteristics, giving you the ability to dial in the ride for specific terrain and driving styles. This shock is designed for vehicles that see heavy use in demanding environments, offering improved handling and control over rough surfaces.

The 3.0-inch diameter shock body houses a robust 1-inch diameter shaft, built to withstand the rigors of off-road racing and extreme trail riding. The remote reservoir provides additional oil capacity, which helps to dissipate heat more effectively. This is crucial for maintaining consistent damping performance during prolonged, hard use, preventing shock fade. The bypass hose design allows fluid to bypass the main piston at specific points in the stroke, offering a unique damping curve that can be tuned to provide a softer initial feel while still offering substantial control in the mid-stroke and bottom-out resistance. This level of adjustability is what sets these shocks apart for performance-oriented applications.

When installing these shocks, you'll want to ensure you have the proper mounting hardware and that your vehicle's suspension geometry is set up to take full advantage of their capabilities. Because these are performance-tuned components, consider consulting with a suspension specialist to optimize their settings for your specific vehicle and intended use. The bypass adjusters are typically located on the remote reservoir and allow for external tuning without needing to disassemble the shock. This makes on-the-fly adjustments possible, a significant advantage for racers and serious off-roaders.
