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

The bypass tubes allow you to adjust the shock's damping characteristics independently of the main piston. This lets you fine-tune how the shock reacts to different parts of the suspension travel, offering more control over both large impacts and smaller road imperfections.

Why does this shock have a piggyback reservoir?

The piggyback reservoir holds extra shock oil, which helps to dissipate heat more effectively. This keeps the shock from overheating and losing performance during prolonged, hard use, such as during off-road racing or driving over rough terrain.

Is this shock sold individually or as a set?

This King Shocks 3.0 PR bypass shock absorber is sold individually. You will need to purchase the appropriate number of shocks for your vehicle's suspension setup.

Product Details

King Shocks is well-known for building high-performance suspension components for off-road vehicles. This 18-inch 3.0 PR shock absorber is a prime example of their expertise, featuring a four-tube bypass design and a piggyback reservoir. This setup allows for extensive adjustability and improved damping control, making it ideal for demanding off-road conditions where precise suspension tuning is critical.

The bypass design lets you fine-tune the shock's damping characteristics by controlling fluid flow at specific points in the suspension stroke. This means you can set it up to handle big impacts smoothly while still maintaining good control over smaller, high-frequency bumps. The piggyback reservoir holds extra oil, which helps keep the shock cool under heavy use, preventing performance fade. This shock is built with robust materials to withstand the rigors of off-road racing and extreme terrain, offering a significant upgrade for vehicles used in these applications.

This shock absorber is sold individually. When installing, ensure you have the correct mounting hardware and consider consulting the manufacturer's installation guide for optimal setup and tuning recommendations to match your vehicle's weight and intended use.
