The present application is directed to an externally adjustable internal bypass shock absorber that combines both the suspension function and the shock absorbing function in one unit. More particularly, the shock body houses a bypass cylinder that includes an upper bulkhead with adjuster rod pockets and check valves as well as a lower bulkhead having one or more check valves. The bypass cylinder includes one or more bypass tubes within bypass tube accepting cavities, in fluid communication with bypass adjuster valve blocks controlling the flow of hydraulic fluid within the bypass tubes. Adjuster rods are telescopically received inside the bypass adjuster block valves for controlling whether the individual oil flow ports are closed, partially open, or fully open. These adjuster rods provide an actuation means in the damper for manual or non-automatic adjustment allowing high speed and low speed as well as sway control on the external shock surface.
