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

The bypass tubes allow you to externally adjust the shock's compression and rebound damping. This means you can fine-tune how the suspension reacts to bumps and terrain without having to open up the shock body itself.

Why are swivel end caps important on this shock?

Swivel end caps make installation easier by allowing you to orient the reservoir and lines independently of the main shock body. This is particularly helpful in tight suspension setups where routing lines can be challenging.

What kind of applications are these shocks best suited for?

These shocks are designed for demanding off-road use, including racing and extreme terrain exploration. The large body, robust shaft, and adjustable bypass offer the performance and durability needed for these conditions.

Product Details

What you get with this King Shocks 3.5 Race Shock OD Swivel 3 Tube Bypass Piggyback is a complete, high-performance shock absorber assembly. This includes the main shock body, a 1-inch diameter shaft, and a piggyback reservoir with adjustable bypass tubes. The swivel end caps on both the shock body and the reservoir allow for easier installation and routing of the lines, especially in complex suspension setups. This shock is designed for serious off-road applications where precise damping control and durability are essential.

The 3.5-inch diameter shock body houses a robust 1-inch diameter shaft, built to handle the rigors of off-road racing and extreme terrain. The three-tube bypass design offers external adjustment of compression and rebound damping, allowing you to fine-tune the suspension's response to varying conditions without needing to rebuild the shock. The piggyback reservoir helps to dissipate heat, keeping the damping consistent even during prolonged, hard use. King Shocks are well-known in the off-road community for their ability to provide a comfortable ride on rough terrain while maintaining excellent control.

When installing these shocks, pay close attention to the routing of the bypass tubes and the swivel end caps. Proper alignment will ensure the shock functions as intended and won't bind. These shocks are a significant upgrade for vehicles used in competitive off-road events or for those who demand the best performance from their suspension system.
