**CLOSED**Round Three - Kings shocks group buy

Yep that is an easy obtainable goal. Use a wall spring press if you do adjust the coilover itself. I've read they come 1", 2" over stock out of the box, the guy at King said 3". But I believe they were more around 2".

And yea I know I need to update my build page. That is on the calendar for this week.

 

That great to hear they had such a difference! Thanks for the feedback. Wish they werent so overpriced.

 

Ive sent them your questions, it takes a day or two for them to reply.

 

thanks @ramonortiz55 just can't wait to get this nailed down.

 

Man... When you wish you knew what you needed..

 

I thought I wanted these but then I spent a few hours on the Mid Travel thread. Realized I'm gonna have to go with a cheaper setup for a while.

 

why not go Kings?

 

$$$ that I don't have. LCAs, limit straps, shock hoops in the rear, etc.

 

you don't need LCAs or shock hoops. limit straps maybe.

 

Thanks for the info. Even then it's still too expensive for my income at the moment. Have to take down a few more priorities anyways.

 

I understand, if I haven't been planning for these the past few months I wouldn't be able to either haha.

 

I just don't know what length of shocks I need for the back yet.

 

is there not just one length of rear shock made by Kings?

 

So I just called king and spoke w a sales rep.
The 2 part numbers I need pricing on are these.
King 2.5 coilovers remote resevoir w/ adjuster - 25001-119a-EXT
King 2.0 smoothie remote reservoir w/ adjuster - pr2012-ss-a

And I'm pretty sure I'm in right now

 

Like compressed/ extended length. As far as I know there's different ones

 

I believe as far as rear shocks go they only make one length. every supplier I've ever seen only has 1 option for King's rear shocks.

 

I dunno, I don't think the shock someone that's stock would use would be the same as someone lifted. I dunno

 

oh right, lifted vs. stock. I don't believe King's makes one that works for stock, I've never seen one at least. This is the only one I've ever seen:

Hm...why do I not see those on their website?

 

Ok so check this out, if you build your own mid-travel package on DSM then you get some options that apparently aren't available just in the list of products (or I couldn't find them). I assume the King's with the (Dakar) beside them are extended travel?
