King Shocks 16in 3.0 Race Shock OD Swivel 2 Tube Bypass Piggyback 1in Shaft Large 3/4 Bypass Tubes

The 1-inch diameter shaft on this King Shocks bypass shock is a key feature, offering increased strength and durability for demanding off-road use. This shock is designed for serious off-road racing applications where precise damping control and adjustability are critical. The 3.0-inch diameter main body houses the primary damping mechanism, while the piggyback reservoir allows for additional oil capacity and heat dissipation, crucial for maintaining consistent performance during extended runs or high-speed desert racing.

What sets this shock apart are the two large 3/4-inch bypass tubes. These tubes allow you to tune the shock's damping characteristics by controlling the flow of oil around the main piston. By adjusting the position of the bypass slugs within these tubes, you can fine-tune the compression and rebound damping independently, giving you the ability to dial in the suspension for specific terrain and driving styles. The swivel design on the piggyback reservoir ensures easier installation and routing of the lines, preventing kinks and allowing for optimal placement on your vehicle's suspension setup. This shock is a well-built component for those looking to achieve a custom suspension tune for competitive off-road events.

When setting up these shocks, consider that the bypass adjustments offer a wide range of tuning possibilities. It's often beneficial to work with a suspension specialist or consult King Shocks' technical resources to fully leverage the adjustability of the bypass tubes for your specific vehicle and intended use. This shock is a substantial upgrade for any serious off-road vehicle aiming for peak performance and control.
