    Are they new or used? Might need to be recharged with nitrogen. Shocks that are low on nitrogen make a knocking sound when you hit bumps. There's is no way for you to check though without letting the nitrogen out yourself. You would have to have a shop check them for you. It's only like $15/$20 bucks though. They should be in excess of 150psi. I believe 200psi is appropriate.

    I'll bet your UCA is smacking the coilover. Check the springs for signs of rubbing

    A bad alingment will cause poor tire wear, and pulling. Not clunking.

    That was one of my guess' as well.

    If it's hitting the spring at full droop, you may be able to rotate your spring about 180 degrees so that at full droop the UCA falls/lands/stops in between two coil wounds.

    Damn dude that doesn't sound good on any level....:eek::eek:

    I don't know shit about Fox shox or Kings applications I just noticed from the OP's pics that the coil spring looked kinda strange the way it was seated in the spring seat

    Look at pic 4 from OP's thread, & notice where coil seats is that normal for Fox?

    When on the jack there isnt even enough droop to reach the coils, Ahshiet actualy comented on the lack of droop when we were doing the install.
