What Are Piggyback Reservoir Bypass Shocks?
Radflo Piggyback Bypass Shocks deliver the same advanced damping control and suspension tuning capabilities as remote reservoir models while packaging the reservoir directly onto the shock body. This compact design reduces hose routing, simplifies installation, and provides excellent cooling capacity for high-performance off-road suspension systems. By combining velocity-sensitive valving with externally adjustable bypass tubes, these shocks allow builders to precisely tune compression and rebound characteristics throughout the suspension travel range for improved handling, traction, and bottoming resistance.
Piggyback bypass shocks are a popular choice for rock crawler suspension systems, rock bouncer suspension setups, Ultra4 race cars, off-road trucks, and custom long travel suspension builds where packaging space is limited but performance remains a priority. Available in multiple travel lengths and valving configurations, Radflo piggyback shocks help drivers maintain control across rocks, whoops, jumps, and high-speed desert terrain. Whether you're building a trail rig, race buggy, mega truck, mud truck, or dedicated off-road racing shock package, these adjustable bypass shocks offer the durability, tuning flexibility, and consistent performance needed for demanding off-road environments.
