    Yeah it's probably my driving.

    Occasionally I'd have to borrow one of my dad's vehicles when my cars were under the knife. Even if I drove carefully (well as much as i could) guaranteed I'd give the car back getting 1-2 mpg less than when I picked it up.:cool:

    @erok81 here's my alternative to the snorkel. Still not as efficient as a snorkel but definitely gives me a sense of ease vs the stock air box.

    Oh sweet. That's a pretty good idea. I like the little vent holes too.

    @90yota Wondering how much do you mess with the King coils compression adjusters? I'm debating whether to order them with or without them. I will mostly be doing highway and city miles, but I tend to go have a little fun off road, and plan on doing trips and camping. nothing too hardcore.

    I have Kings without the adjusters and they have a decent on and offroad feel if you went without them. That being said though, it is nice to have them available. I think adjusters are much more critical for the rear than the front as the weight changes a lot for the rear. With that being said, Im sure you would have some fun with the adjusters when going off-road. I vote for getting them if you have the funds for them.

    I don't do anything too hardcore either. I only touch them when going offroad. But it changes the handling completely. On road I turn them up a lot so it rides stiffer in turns hence no sway bars and it still drives nice. I love having the adjustability. Worth every penny in my opinion.

    Thanks for your feedback Coot. Compared to the stock OEM bilsteins our trucks come with, are the kings the same or better ride quality. And mannnn i mean i have the funds but I like the lesser price better :facepalm: Could use that extra $550ish for something else

    Ahhhhh i guess I'll spend the extra mula on them lol I was hoping to get answers saying they didn't make much difference haha. Hey and same question I asked Coot, compared to the OEM bilsteins, how is the ride quality with the Kings? Also did you get the Kings for the rear yet or still on the 5125's?

    Kings IMO blow all other coils out of the water, but I havnt tried out Fox's. If you plan to get these coils once, I wouldn't hesitate on King. There is a reason why many West coasties love their shocks. Also they are a great company for support and questions.

    Kings blow OEM shit right out of the water. There is no comparison. I say go with the adjusters. I did not, and wish I did.

    BTW @IvanCard, I think me and @90yota share a lot of the same mentality in case you havnt noticed when it comes to suspension.

    They seem fine to me. Not so well when wet out but drove fine in the snow the other day. Be ready to lose a few MPG because how heavy they are.
