What is the benefit of Internal Bypass (IBP) technology?

Internal Bypass technology allows the shock absorber to sense its position within the suspension travel. It provides a softer damping force in the middle of the stroke for a more comfortable ride and increases damping force near the top and bottom of the stroke to control harsh impacts and prevent bottoming out.

Are these shocks adjustable?

While the Internal Bypass design offers position-sensitive damping, King Shocks are also known for their tunability. The remote reservoirs can often be charged with different nitrogen pressures, and the internal valving can be serviced and modified by experienced technicians to fine-tune performance for specific applications.

What else might I need to install these shocks?

Installation typically requires appropriate tools for suspension work, including wrenches and possibly spring compressors depending on your vehicle's setup. It's also recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation guide for specific torque specifications and any other required hardware or components for your vehicle.

Product Details

What you get with this order is a pair of King Shocks 8-inch 3.0 PR Smoothie shocks, complete with hose-mounted remote reservoirs and Internal Bypass (IBP) technology. These shocks are built for serious off-road performance, offering a significant upgrade over stock suspension components. The 3.0-inch diameter body allows for more oil capacity and better heat dissipation, crucial for maintaining consistent damping performance during long, demanding runs.

The Internal Bypass design is a key feature here. It allows the shock to sense its position and adjust damping accordingly, providing a softer ride in the middle of its travel and firmer control near the extremes. This means you get a comfortable ride on the trail and robust control when you need it most, like hitting bumps or landing jumps. The hose-mounted remote reservoirs help keep the shock oil cool by increasing the volume and allowing for better airflow, which prevents shock fade even under heavy use. King Shocks are known for their robust construction, using high-grade aluminum for the bodies and shafts, and are designed to be rebuilt, meaning they can be serviced and tuned for years of reliable performance.

When installing these shocks, it's important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for proper setup and tuning. Because these are performance shocks, they are often paired with other suspension upgrades to achieve the full potential of the system. Ensure you have the necessary tools and knowledge for installation, or consider having a professional mechanic handle the job to guarantee they are set up correctly for your specific vehicle and driving style.
