King Shocks 2.5x10 PR 3 Tube Bypass Shock w/ Reservoir - Style 1 Layout

What you get with this King Shocks order is a single 2.5-inch diameter by 10-inch stroke bypass shock absorber, complete with an external reservoir. This particular unit features a Style 1 bypass tube layout, which is a key component for fine-tuning your suspension's response. The bypass tubes allow you to precisely control how the shock behaves through different ranges of its travel, giving you a more adjustable and capable ride off-road.

King Shocks are well-known in the off-road community for their robust construction and performance tuning capabilities. This 2.5-inch shock is built with a durable, thick-walled steel body and features a hard-anodized aluminum reservoir for efficient heat dissipation. The bypass design is where the real customization happens; by adjusting the position of the bypass slugs within the tubes, you can alter the damping characteristics independently of the main piston. This means you can soften the initial part of the stroke for comfort over washboard roads, while still maintaining firm control during hard impacts or landings. The 10-inch stroke length is substantial, allowing for significant wheel articulation and travel, which is crucial for tackling challenging terrain.

Installing these shocks will require a good understanding of suspension geometry and potentially custom fabrication, as bypass shocks are typically used in performance off-road builds where standard setups are insufficient. It's important to consult with a suspension specialist or refer to detailed installation guides for your specific application to ensure proper setup and tuning. These shocks are designed for enthusiasts who want to dial in their suspension for a specific driving style or terrain, offering a level of control not found in conventional shocks.
