What is the purpose of the bypass tubes on this shock?

The bypass tubes allow fluid to flow around the main piston, creating adjustable damping zones. This lets you fine-tune the suspension's response for different terrains and speeds, offering more control and a better ride.

Why does this shock have a remote reservoir?

The remote reservoir holds extra shock fluid, which helps to keep the shock cooler under heavy use. This prevents overheating and maintains consistent damping performance, especially during long off-road runs.

Is this shock sold individually or as a set?

This King Shocks 3.5 Race Shock is sold individually. You will need to purchase the appropriate number of shocks for your vehicle's suspension setup.

Product Details

The 1-inch diameter shaft on this King Shocks 3.5 Race Shock is a key indicator of its robust construction, designed to handle the rigors of demanding off-road use. This shock absorber features a 3-tube bypass design, allowing for precise control over damping characteristics by letting fluid bypass the main piston at specific points in the stroke. This adjustability is crucial for tuning suspension performance across a wide range of terrain, from high-speed desert running to technical rock crawling.

Built with a substantial 3.5-inch diameter body, this shock offers ample fluid capacity and heat dissipation, which is essential for maintaining consistent performance during extended periods of hard use. The included remote reservoir further aids in cooling by providing additional oil volume and allowing for mounting in a location with better airflow. The large 3/4-inch bypass tubes are a notable design choice, offering a wider range of adjustment compared to smaller bypass tubes, giving tuners more flexibility to dial in the ride quality and handling for specific vehicles and driving styles. This level of customization is what makes King Shocks a popular choice for serious off-roaders.

This shock is sold individually. When setting up your suspension, consider how the bypass tubes are positioned; they can often be rotated to alter the damping curve. Proper installation and tuning are key to unlocking the full potential of this high-performance shock absorber.
