    It took 5 weeks for my Kings to arrive via AutoAnything. That was in October

    Mine came within a month I think. Ordered from DSM and Micah was great. King ran out of 650lb coils so they set me up with some Eibach coils for free since they would have been delayed otherwise. Only downside was they were silver instead of blue but who really cares. Customer service was great and I'll be going through them more in whatever my next build ends up as.

    Also Happy Late New Year guys! Hope this one is great!

    And @dtaco06 I'll look up a shock rebuild place near me and let you know about it. The guy is really well known and does it for a good deal if you remove the shocks yourself. I forgot what it was called though... haha

    Edit: Here you go.

    I actually didn't take mine there because they were super swamped and couldn't do them for a few weeks and I had a trip coming up. But I think he quoted me 250 for the rear omegas being rebuilt which was better than everywhere else.

    @Unner did you have oil coming out your breathers in the engine bay at one time?
    One of mine started to spluge a bit and was wondering if you figured out what it was?

    Get Kings. You'll be happy you did. Call DSM and ask for Micah

    Got mine in less than a week. But they had a set sitting on the shelf that weren't extended length so they just removed the inside spacer and recharged them. Would've been 10-11 weeks if I got them to build me a set.

    Yes I did. I posted a thread on it and there was someone who gave a pretty good run down on what causes it. No issues since it initially did it. It sprayed what looked like a lot of oil, but oil tends to spread easy. I cleaned it up with some brake cleaner the day after and it never showed up again. I'll link you the thread in a second.

    I think I will go Kings. I'd hate if I paid for another set of Toytec shocks, blew them and then was basically paying the same I would pay for a set of Kings. And it's not a question of if they blow, it's when.

    10-11 weeks is a pretty good wait. Any issues driving on a leaky coilover for awhile? I'm hoping they can get me hooked up faster. I'd want standard travel since I don't have UCAs. I'm gonna email filthy tonight, and call DSM tomorrow.

    Do you plan on getting UCAs?
    You can run extended coil overs with stock arms, it’ll just rub when you lift a tire. I did for like 6 months no problems

    Not planning to. Just replaced UCAs and upper ball joints with OEM stuff. It's held up well for me since I don't run much lift.

    No I didn't do anything with it yet. It hasn't happened since so I think it was a one time thing. I might do something with it, or I might just fill it slightly below the fill hole when I change the fluid next time.
