    Gotta pay for some trips first. But after that I’m pulling the trigger. If my dumbass didn’t plan on going to the Yankees games in Seattle and spending 10 days there by myself, I could have already bought it.

    The faster you go, the less you feel- works with any suspension, up to a certain point. that point is probably right before crashing, lol.

    Yeah I remember being super impressed at your MTRs flying chunks of mud with every lug that lifted off the ground. That was a fun run. I think I only had toytec/eibach 5100s at the time, though.

    @racie if you're already going to upgrade suspension, go for it. IMO not worth getting rid of other aftermarket suspension just for Kings. I basically wanted to try stiffer springs and Kings were on sale. I still have 5100s in the rear and see no reason to upgrade them to match. The truck rides nicer and seems to settle down after bumps better, if that makes sense. But I still feel bumps and potholes.
    I think they're worth the money, just wish I bought them from the beginning.

    Yea.. Already have OMEs, and I'm fine with that.. Just always that "back of the mind" want to have plush, but for the 6-8x a year I go up, not sure it's worth the $$...

    Thought about doing the front or the backs, and leaving the others, but that might be funny... lol

    A good setup will also be plush on the road for daily driving. Wife's runner is smooth on the road even with 18" wheels. You've had rides in other people's trucks going over to donkey trail right? Ive been in Miles truck, and it rode pretty smooth with all that weight he has :laughing: smoother than my truck when I was still IFS.

    Do you have the twin tube, sport, or the Bp51?
    I wouldn't try to judge kings on a trail ride, because they're going to be aired down, right? Tires may absorb more bumps than the shocks
