What is the purpose of the bypass tubes on this shock?

The six 1-inch bypass tubes allow for precise adjustment of the shock's damping force at different points in its travel. By repositioning internal valving, you can fine-tune how the shock reacts to various impacts, from small bumps to large G-outs, optimizing performance for specific terrains.

How does the piggyback reservoir benefit the shock's performance?

The piggyback reservoir design increases the shock's overall oil capacity and helps dissipate heat more effectively. This leads to more consistent damping performance, especially during prolonged periods of hard use where heat buildup can degrade shock performance.

What kind of vehicles is this shock typically used for?

This type of high-performance race shock is generally used in custom-built off-road vehicles such as trucks, buggies, and rock crawlers. It's designed for applications where extreme durability and highly tunable suspension are required.

Product Details

King Shocks is well-known for building high-performance suspension components for off-road racing and extreme use. This 26-inch 4.0 Race Shock is a prime example of their commitment to durability and adjustability. It features a 1.25-inch diameter shaft for strength and a large 1-inch diameter for the six bypass tubes, allowing for extensive tuning of compression and rebound characteristics.

The piggyback reservoir design offers a compact way to increase oil capacity and cooling, which is crucial for maintaining consistent damping performance during long, demanding runs. The bypass tubes allow you to precisely control the shock's damping force at different points in its travel. By adjusting the position of the internal valving within these tubes, you can fine-tune how the shock reacts to impacts, whether it's a small bump or a large G-out. This level of adjustability is essential for optimizing suspension performance for specific terrains and driving styles.

This shock is built with robust materials and construction methods that King Shocks is known for, designed to withstand the rigors of competitive off-road environments. While specific vehicle fitment isn't listed here, shocks of this caliber are typically used in custom builds for trucks, buggies, and other high-performance off-road vehicles where precise suspension tuning is a priority. It's important to consult with a suspension specialist or refer to King Shocks' technical documentation for proper installation and setup guidance for your specific application.
