King 2.5in OEM rear shocks with compression adjuster

I bought these from another TW member last Sunday and it turns out that they will not work with my current rear set up, so they are up for grabs.

Same deal as OP, $800 OBO!

I'm located in HB 92647, PM me if you are interested, prefer local pick up of course.

These are clean and all mounting hardware is complete. OP said less than a year old and 10,000 miles on them.

 

Measurements?

 

Compressed length- 15.83 in
Extended length- 24.29 in.

 

Thank you, glws.

 

what's your current rear setup?
What's the travel on these?

 

1.5 AAL is my current set up. These are direct OEM replacement shocks.

 

Jay, just curious, why didn't they work out for you? If the OEM shocks can handle the AAL, why not these?

 

DSM, King and Deaver all said they would be short at full droop. They are so F-ing close though, if you never left the ground.....Your Icons have more travel than the kings.

 

shock extenders or limit straps

 

I used them with TSB springs which are basically a 1.5in add a leaf and they worked great. No problems at all. I thought it was because your going with all pro expos?

 

So these won't work with my deaver leaf pack?

 

Are you using your stock shocks now? If so then these will work just fine. These are a direct replacement, except much beefier with the ability to adjust compression if you have a heavy load or want lighter compression for off road.

 

So does droop look like it was affected? Here is a picture when I had them on with TSB springs (1.5in add a leaf)

 

you wont be able to tell fom a pic, unbolt the shock and see if it droops farther

 

They may work just fine with the TSB, but with an AAL also???

Not sure which leaf pack you have, you would have to contact Jeff at Deaver.

I'm running Bilstein 5100's in the rear for now.

 

Key word...HAD. When I took them off the springs did not droop any more. In fact these are a tad longer(1/2in-1in longer then my old bilsteins)

Jay. With a TSB and add a leaf that's 3in or more lift in the rear. I'm just trying to help you resell these. I think your first comment might be confusing some people.. Basically any one out there running what ever type of spring plus a shock that is equivalent to a stock length shock, what ever the brand may be. These will work no problem. Sure you can get an extended length shock, but most add 1/4in- 3/8in stroke length. That's really not much difference. Remember it's all about valving anyways. These give you ability to adjust compression.

 

If you're running 5100, then these should fit just fine then. Aren't the 5100 stock application too?

 

Yup, that's what came stock on my 4x4 offroad addition.
Look at it like a front adjustable coil over, the more you crank up preload the less down travel you receive and more up travel you gain. The more springs you add in the back the higher the lift gets and less down travel of you shock you receive

 

These should fit your truck if you have the deavers

 

Anyways.....enough shock talk. These use to be mine. They are a great shock for a great deal. Buy them.
