What is a bypass shock and how does it work?

A bypass shock allows fluid to flow around the main piston through adjustable bypass tubes. This lets you fine-tune the damping force at different points in the suspension stroke, offering more control over how the shock reacts to bumps and impacts.

What is the benefit of a remote reservoir?

The remote reservoir increases the shock's oil capacity, which helps to dissipate heat more effectively. This is crucial for maintaining consistent damping performance during prolonged use, like during long off-road runs or aggressive driving.

What kind of adjustments can be made with this shock?

The three bypass tubes allow for adjustments to the shock's compression and rebound damping. By adjusting the flow through these tubes, you can tailor the ride characteristics to suit different terrains and driving styles.

Product Details

King Shocks is well-known for building high-performance suspension components for off-road vehicles. This 18-inch, 2.5-inch diameter bypass shock absorber is a prime example of their expertise, designed to give you exceptional control and adjustability over rough terrain. The bypass design allows you to fine-tune the damping characteristics by adjusting the flow of fluid through the bypass tubes, giving you a unique level of tuning capability for your specific driving needs.

This shock features a three-tube bypass system, offering multiple points for fluid to flow around the piston, which translates to more nuanced control over compression and rebound. The remote reservoir is connected via a hose, allowing for increased fluid capacity and better heat dissipation, crucial for maintaining consistent performance during long, demanding off-road excursions. The 2.5-inch diameter body houses the internal valving and provides a robust foundation for the shock's operation. This shock is built to handle the rigors of off-road use, offering a significant improvement in ride quality and handling when you need it most.

When installing bypass shocks like these, it's important to consider how you'll route the remote reservoir and ensure it's protected from impacts. Proper setup of the bypass adjusters will allow you to dial in the ride for different conditions, whether you're crawling over rocks or hitting high-speed desert whoops. This shock is a serious component for those looking to optimize their vehicle's suspension for extreme off-road performance.
