    Most of the time yes. But some times it's just pure luck. That how I got a job with Seattle city light. Luck.

    I have yet to go the luck route. Literally every job I've ever gotten I either never interviewed, or it was a formality.

    Which application is that?

    What're you replacing it with?

    If you respond with anything other than a bypass setup or stock, I am here to tell you that you're going to be disappointed in the ride. King, Fox, Radflo, whatever. The difference in ride quality around town is so negligible that you're just wasting money if a better ride is your desire.

    Kings with adjusters. Yes I understand it's the spring rate that affects the ride on the road and that isn't changing. Off road I don't ever exceed 40 mph. I'll be sure to let you know what I think.

    I hope you don't lie to us to justify your purchase like everyone else on the net. Judging by how you said you were upset with it like the day you installed it, I am sure that's not the case.

    Those adjusters, like the icon ones, are only compression. Another #bp-51ftmfw @twalchlii1

    Haha I have no reason to lie nor do I have to justify anything. Once I got some weight on the Icons with bumpers and weight in the back it was greatly improved over when I installed with an empty truck. I will give my fair opinion between the two.

    I use that excuse all the time!
    Honey, the truck NEEDS a set of lockers.
    The truck NEEDS new wet okole seat covers.
    It will be MUCH safer with power stop brakes.

    Kris- how much do you have in the truck now?
    Me- bout $8k
    Kris- uhhh, I just totaled up your receipts. Over $17k.
    Kris- I'm buying a new camera.

    Moral- lie like a rug when it comes to truck costs.
    The camera was only $2.5k.
    I win.
