What is the primary benefit of the 5-tube bypass system?

The 5-tube bypass system allows for highly specific tuning of the shock's damping characteristics. You can adjust how oil flows through these tubes to fine-tune compression and rebound for different terrains and driving styles, offering a level of control not found in standard shocks.

Does this shock come with all necessary mounting hardware?

This product listing is for the shock absorber assembly itself, including the remote reservoir. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's documentation or contact their support to confirm if any specific mounting hardware is included or if it needs to be sourced separately based on your vehicle's application.

How does the remote reservoir improve performance?

The remote reservoir increases the shock's overall oil capacity and provides a larger surface area for heat dissipation. This helps keep the shock oil cooler during intense use, preventing performance fade and maintaining consistent damping control over rough terrain or during extended periods of operation.

Product Details

This is a King Shocks 18-inch 3.0 Race Shock with a 5-tube bypass and remote reservoir, designed for serious off-road performance. It features a large 1-inch shaft and 3/4-inch bypass tubes, offering advanced adjustability for damping control. This shock is built to handle the rigors of competitive racing and extreme terrain, providing a significant upgrade over standard suspension components for vehicles used in demanding off-road applications.

The core of this shock is its robust construction and sophisticated valving. The 3.0-inch diameter body allows for a larger volume of oil, which helps dissipate heat more effectively during prolonged use, preventing shock fade. The 1-inch diameter shaft is strong and durable, capable of withstanding heavy impacts. The standout feature is the 5-tube bypass system, which allows for precise tuning of compression and rebound damping. By adjusting the flow of oil through these bypass tubes, you can fine-tune the shock's response to different terrain and driving conditions, from smooth desert runs to rough rock crawling. The included remote reservoir further enhances cooling and provides additional oil capacity, ensuring consistent performance even under extreme stress.

This shock is sold individually. For a complete suspension setup, you will need to purchase multiple shocks and potentially other suspension components. Installation typically involves mounting the shock body and connecting the remote reservoir. It's recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation guide for specific details and to ensure proper setup for your vehicle's suspension geometry. Proper tuning of the bypass tubes is key to unlocking the full potential of this high-performance shock absorber.
