What does a bypass shock do?

A bypass shock allows oil to flow around the main piston through adjustable bypass tubes. This lets you tune compression and rebound damping independently, giving you more control over how the suspension reacts to different terrain.

Why is a piggyback reservoir important?

The piggyback reservoir holds extra shock fluid, which helps to keep the shock cooler under heavy use. This increased cooling reduces the chance of shock fade and maintains consistent damping performance on long or rough trails.

What is included with this shock absorber?

This product includes one King Shocks 8-inch 2.0 PR Shock with a 2-tube bypass and piggyback reservoir. Other mounting hardware or components may be required depending on your custom application.

Product Details

King Shocks is well-known for building high-performance suspension components for off-road vehicles. This 8-inch 2.0 series shock absorber is a prime example of their commitment to quality and performance. It features a 2-tube bypass design with a piggyback reservoir, allowing for more fluid capacity and better heat dissipation, which is crucial for maintaining consistent damping performance during demanding use. The 7/8 inch shaft is robust and built to handle the stresses of off-road driving.

The bypass design means you can tune the compression and rebound damping independently by adjusting the flow of oil through the bypass tubes. This shock is designed for custom applications where precise control over suspension behavior is needed. The piggyback reservoir allows for increased oil volume, helping to keep the shock cool and prevent fade, even on long, rough trails or during repeated impacts. This is a well-built component for those looking to fine-tune their suspension for specific terrain or driving styles.

This shock absorber is sold individually. When building a custom suspension system, it's important to consider how these shocks will integrate with your vehicle's existing setup, including spring rates and control arms. Proper installation and tuning are key to unlocking the full potential of this high-performance shock absorber.
