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

The 1-inch diameter shaft on this King Shocks 3.0 Race Shock is a key indicator of its robust construction, designed to handle the extreme demands of off-road racing and high-performance suspension setups. This shock absorber features a 3.0-inch diameter main body, which houses a large volume of oil and gas, allowing for better heat dissipation and consistent damping performance even under prolonged, hard use. The four-tube bypass design allows you to precisely tune the damping characteristics by adjusting the flow of fluid through the bypass tubes, giving you control over compression and rebound at different points in the suspension stroke.

This shock is equipped with a remote reservoir, which further aids in cooling by increasing the oil capacity and providing a separate chamber for the oil and nitrogen. The swivel fittings on the reservoir hose ensure easy and flexible installation, preventing kinks and allowing for optimal placement. The large 3/4-inch diameter tubes within the bypass system are built to withstand significant forces, contributing to the overall durability and reliability of the shock. This level of adjustability and heavy-duty construction makes it a popular choice for custom suspension builds where precise tuning and extreme durability are paramount.

When installing these shocks, remember that they are designed for custom applications and may require fabrication for mounting. The adjustability offered by the bypass tubes means you can fine-tune the ride quality and handling for specific terrain or driving styles. It's recommended to consult with a suspension specialist or refer to King Shocks' technical documentation for detailed tuning guides and installation best practices to get the most out of this advanced suspension component.
