    Having ridden in both, I much recommend progressive (Kings/Foxes) vs. digressive (Icons) valving, especially if it is a daily driver. And, I'm up for helping too. Suspension is always a fun, biggest bang for the buck install job.

    Awesome, thanks! I’m probably going to place the order this Friday. I can get the Fox’s with rear 2.0 for about 70 bucks more but not sure if it’s worth it or not? I do like the silver springs though and hear Icons customer service has been less then stellar lately.

    Is there anyone who is experienced adjusting coilovers that might be able to help a brother out this weekend? I am in Albuquerque and have a set of Fox 2.5s that are giving me grief.

    Beer, food and/or monetary compensation will be provided. Thanks

    I've adjusted my Kings enough, even swapping springs out, to be comfortable with the job but would like to know what condition they're in and what you need done. How soon you want/need them done?

    Trying to figure out if I should drive up to the Sandia’s and see if there’s enough snow to play in.
