What is the purpose of the bypass hose and remote reservoir on this shock?

The bypass hose and remote reservoir work together to provide advanced damping control and heat management. The reservoir stores extra oil and allows for external adjustment of damping, while the bypass system lets oil flow around the piston, offering tunable compression and rebound characteristics.

What kind of adjustments can be made with this shock?

The remote reservoir typically allows for external adjustments to the shock's damping rates. This enables you to fine-tune the suspension's response for different terrains and driving conditions without disassembling the shock.

What kind of vehicle is this shock typically used for?

This type of race shock is generally used for high-performance off-road vehicles, such as custom rock crawlers, desert race trucks, or pre-runners, where extreme suspension travel and durability are required.

Product Details

King Shocks is well-known for building some of the toughest suspension components for serious off-road use, and this 18-inch 3.5-inch race shock is a prime example. It's designed to give you precise control and damping in the most demanding conditions, whether you're hitting desert whoops or navigating rocky trails. The bypass hose and remote reservoir work together to manage heat and allow for external adjustment of your damping, giving you the flexibility to tune your suspension for specific terrain and driving styles.

This shock features a large 1-inch diameter shaft, which is strong and durable, paired with 3/4-inch large tubes for the bypass hoses. The 3.5-inch diameter body helps dissipate heat effectively, crucial for maintaining consistent performance during long, hard runs where other shocks might fade. The swivel hose and remote reservoir setup means you can mount the reservoir in a convenient location, making adjustments easier and keeping heat away from the main shock body. This is a well-built piece of equipment designed for vehicles that see heavy off-road action and require top-tier damping performance.

When installing a shock like this, it's important to ensure proper clearance for the bypass hoses and remote reservoir. You'll also want to consider how you'll access the adjustment knobs on the reservoir for tuning. This shock is a significant upgrade for any off-road vehicle looking for improved handling and durability under extreme stress.
