What is the purpose of the piggyback reservoir on this shock?

The piggyback reservoir increases the shock's oil capacity, which helps to dissipate heat more effectively. This leads to more consistent damping performance, especially during prolonged use in demanding conditions like off-road racing.

How do the five bypass tubes affect the shock's performance?

The five bypass tubes allow for significant adjustability of the shock's damping characteristics. You can fine-tune both compression and rebound to match your specific driving style and the terrain you'll be encountering, optimizing ride quality and control.

Is this shock sold individually or as a set?

This product listing is for a single shock absorber. If you are building a complete suspension system, you will need to purchase the appropriate number of shocks for your vehicle's axle configuration.

Product Details

King Shocks is well-known for building some of the most robust and high-performing suspension components for off-road vehicles. This 18-inch, 3.5-inch diameter race shock is a prime example of their commitment to serious performance. It features a piggyback reservoir for increased oil capacity and heat dissipation, crucial for maintaining consistent damping performance during long, demanding runs. The shock also includes five tubes for bypass adjustment, allowing you to fine-tune the damping characteristics to match your specific vehicle setup and driving conditions.

This shock is built with a substantial 1-inch diameter shaft, providing the strength needed to handle the rigors of off-road racing and extreme terrain. The large 3/4-inch bypass tubes offer a wide range of adjustability, giving you the control to dial in compression and rebound damping precisely. This level of customization is essential for optimizing suspension response, whether you're navigating rocky trails, high-speed desert washes, or technical rock crawling sections. The construction is solid, designed to withstand the harsh environments these shocks are intended for.

When you're building a high-performance off-road suspension, components like this King Shocks bypass shock are key to achieving the desired ride quality and control. While this shock is sold individually, consider how it fits into your overall suspension strategy. Proper installation and tuning will unlock its full potential, providing a noticeable improvement in how your vehicle handles rough terrain.
