    I don’t have them and wish I would have got them, Kings are very soft and not stiff so off-road they are amazing, on road they can bounce a little.

    I recently purchased Kings with adjusters. I cannot yet speak from experience, as I haven't installed mines yet. But I used the ole mantra of "Better to have and not need than to need and not have".

    I’ve had my since Saturday, but haven’t gotten around to messing with the adjusters yet. Like @MandosTaco said some will say yes and others will tell you to get them valved according to how your truck is set up and it won’t matter.

    If it’s your daily driver and you off-road then yes since you can adjust accordingly. If you don’t off-road or off-road only then just get them tuned to what you like and no need for adjusters.

    Worth every penny. I kinda wish I got adjusters for the rears.... it's too soft for me now. Gotta re-valve them now instead. Cheaper to get adjusters from the beginning

    From what I understand, you still can have adjusters installed, when you dens your shocks for service /re-valving. Not saying it'll be cheap, but could give you functionality that you crave

    It's not cheap I was told at King when I was there it's around $700 to change them to adjusters. Cheaper to have them from the factory with adjusters already added.

    One site I was looking at said front 25001-119 would ship immediately, 25001-119A ships in 7 days. What was the back order for?

    I don’t have a good answer. I had the same question. I was just told it takes time. The piggybacks are what took the longest.

    It's possible that some vendors might have some "standard" sets in Stock, but if it has to be custom build, we have to wait our turn, as they have to be built at King factory...
    Because mine are special, built just for Me! Lol:evil:;)

    Stuff and junk and things...
    That's about right for 2 shocks to add the adjuster resi. I can add the FOX DSC to any kings, price is about the same.
