What is the benefit of a bypass shock design?

A bypass shock allows fluid to bypass the main piston through external tubes. This design lets you tune compression and rebound damping independently, offering more control over how the suspension reacts to different terrain types and speeds.

How does the piggyback reservoir help?

The piggyback reservoir increases the shock's fluid capacity, which helps to dissipate heat more effectively. This is crucial for maintaining consistent damping performance during prolonged or hard use, preventing shock fade.

What kind of tuning can I expect with this shock?

This shock offers significant tuning capabilities due to its bypass design. You can adjust the bypass ports to alter the damping characteristics, allowing you to fine-tune the ride for various conditions, from slow crawling to high-speed desert running.

Product Details

The 2.5-inch diameter body on this King Shocks bypass shock is machined from a solid billet of 6061-T6 aluminum, offering a strong yet lightweight foundation for its advanced suspension control. This shock features a piggyback reservoir with a 2-tube bypass design, allowing for a significant increase in fluid capacity and heat dissipation compared to standard shocks. The bypass tubes allow you to tune the compression and rebound damping independently, giving you precise control over how your suspension reacts to terrain. This means you can set it up for a plush ride on washboard roads while still having firm control during high-speed impacts.

King Shocks are well-known in the off-road community for their adjustability and durability. The bypass design is particularly useful for vehicles that see a lot of varied terrain, from crawling over rocks to hitting desert whoops. By adjusting the bypass ports, you can effectively change the shock's valving characteristics without needing to rebuild the entire unit. This shock also includes a 3-stage sealing system to keep contaminants out and ensure long service life, even in harsh environments. The piggyback reservoir can be mounted in various positions, offering flexibility for installation on custom builds.

When setting up a suspension system with bypass shocks like these, it's important to understand that they offer a much wider range of tuning than a standard shock absorber. You'll want to consult with King Shocks or an experienced suspension builder to dial in the settings for your specific vehicle and intended use. This level of adjustability allows for a truly customized ride that can handle demanding off-road conditions.
