King Shocks 20in 4.5 Race Shock 5 Tube Bypass Piggyback Res 1.25in Shaft Large 1in Bypass Tubes

This package includes one King Shocks 4.5 Race Shock, featuring a 20-inch overall length, a 1.25-inch diameter shaft, and large 1-inch diameter bypass tubes. It also comes with a piggyback reservoir for enhanced cooling and adjustability. This shock is built with a robust 5-tube bypass design, allowing for extensive tuning of your suspension's compression and rebound characteristics.

The large 1-inch bypass tubes are a key feature, offering a wide range of adjustability to fine-tune your suspension's response across various terrains. This means you can dial in the damping to handle everything from high-speed desert runs to slower, more technical rock crawling. The piggyback reservoir is mounted directly to the shock body, which helps dissipate heat more effectively than a remote reservoir, especially during prolonged, hard use. This improved cooling helps maintain consistent damping performance and extends the life of the shock. The 1.25-inch shaft is strong and built to withstand the rigors of off-road racing and extreme conditions.

When setting up these shocks, you'll want to pay close attention to the bypass tube adjustments. These allow you to control how the shock behaves at different points in its travel. For instance, you can make the initial part of the stroke softer for small bumps while keeping the end of the stroke firm to prevent bottoming out. This level of control is what separates a race-proven shock from a standard unit. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation and tuning guide for specific recommendations tailored to your vehicle and intended use.
