King Shocks 3.0 Bypass Shock Kit Now Listed for Ford Raptor, 2010 Through 2026

King Shocks has listed a 3.0 Bypass Shock Kit for the Ford Raptor, with fitment spanning model years 2010 through 2026. That covers the full listed range under a single kit listing.

Bypass shocks work differently from the coilover-style dampers that come stock on most trucks. Instead of routing all the oil through a single shaft-mounted piston, a bypass shock uses external tubes with their own adjustable valving, so compression and rebound can be tuned separately across different points in the shock's travel. The appeal for owners who spend real time at speed over rough ground: the shock can be set up soft off the top for small chatter and washboard, then ramp up resistance deeper in the stroke so the truck doesn't bottom out hard over bigger hits.

Because this is a suspension component, anything involving spring rate, valving pressure, or the torque figures for mounting hardware needs to come from King Shocks' own installation documentation and the Raptor's service manual, not from a product listing. Suspension parts hold the truck up and control it under load — guessing at a torque spec or running a spring rate that isn't matched to how the truck is actually loaded is how you end up with a shock that either doesn't do its job or fails early. If the kit ships without the setup figures, that's a call to King Shocks or a dealer, not a guess.

A model-year range this long covers a lot of production, and a part listed for a later year does not automatically fit an earlier one. A single "2010–2026" fitment range means King Shocks is claiming compatibility across all of it — confirm your exact model year against King Shocks' fitment guide before ordering, especially if you're near a year where the truck changed.

Installation of a bypass shock kit is not a curbside job in the way a shock-for-shock swap can be — bypass shocks often need bracket work, and getting the valving right typically means a tuning pass rather than a one-and-done install. Budget for that when pricing the upgrade, and don't skip the manufacturer's break-in or setup procedure if one is specified.
