    What? Twice as expensive or twice as high in terms of lift amount?

    1) price - because they are better
    2) they are not higher - they all produce 0-3" of lift, some kits being adjustable and some not

    Fox or King? King all day.

    Had Kings on my prerunner Ranger. Never had any problems with them. Never had any Fox shocks, but have friends who used them and didn't have issues. It's hard to go wrong with the race series from either. I have zero experience with Toytec.

    95% of the people who run fox or kings don't use them to their potential. Save some money if you have a street queen.

    Very true, if you're not going MT or LT pretty much any off the shelf shock from a known brand will get the job done. It's when you start wanting to revalve and tune dampening to suit trails that Fox and King are worthwhile.

    Fox 2.5 + King 700 pound coils = pure awesomeness!!!!!

    Just put my king coils on and I love the responsiveness and performance.

    You get what you pay for. (As stated above)

    All in all I would go Fox or kings. I've had the toytec and I just wanted more. Save the money and don't get the cheap stuff because most likely you are going to want to upgrade down the road. Just save the cash and get the better product.
