3.0″ External Bypass Shock — Free Bleed Technology
The Solid Shocks Co. 3.0″ External Bypass shock features our proprietary Free Bleed monotube design — engineered for faster adjustability, smoother damping, and superior performance across every type of terrain. Premium American-made construction, custom built to order for your vehicle.
Free Bleed Monotube Design
- Single-tube external bypass flows greater fluid volume than multi-tube designs, delivering a smoother ride and easier on-the-fly tuning.
- High-flow piston with reduced bleed produces a stronger, more progressive bump zone — controlled compression all the way to bottom-out.
- Adjustable bypass tubes let you fine-tune compression and rebound zones to match your terrain, your weight, and your driving style.
Premium Construction
- CNC-machined, zinc-coated steel body provides corrosion resistance, structural strength, and protection from external debris.
- Induction-hardened, chrome-plated shaft delivers toughness, longevity, and resistance to pitting and wear.
- Large external reservoir increases oil capacity for superior cooling and consistent damping under sustained abuse.
- Fully rebuildable design — extend service life with our 3.0″ Bypass Rebuild Kit.
Optimized Comfort & Control
- High-volume bypass tubes absorb small chatter and washboard while maintaining control through big hits.
- Maximum bottom-out resistance gives you confidence at speed across harsh, unpredictable terrain.
- Race-tested in desert racing, rock crawling, and aggressive trail riding.
