    Yeah, I waited about a month for my rears. They were shipped on June 22nd and arrived on June 27th. Pretty quick turnaround compared to the actual wait for DSM to actually have my shocks in stock.

    I recently bought a set of used OEM king coilovers. Are they supposed to come with the 3 bolts to secure the upper shock? Or can the stock bolts be reused?

    3/8-16 grade 8 bolts will be fine w/ lock ring and washer.
    I used antiseize on mine.

    Do they have to be fully threaded versus the kind that have non threaded shank near the head? Loews only has these in grade 8.

    Pretty sure they do since the coil bucket is pretty thin.
    You may be able to get away with a small amount of non-thread since you will add a lock washer and washer between the top of the bucket and the bolt head.

    Call King tomorrow and they can give you the exact length. I 'think" I used for 1 1/4" long bolts on mine but it's been a while.

    I went to over a half dozen places today searching for non shoulder bolts. No luck at all. I will call King tomorrow to see if they can give me some good news.

    Installed the King rears with adjusters today. Ran them through some speed bumps, like a cloud.

    The Boss 2.0 were completely shot, no gas, no compression or rebound. They're dead Jim.

    Hey Joe, I'm trying to figure something out regarding Timbrens and a flip kit. Maybe you (or anyone with knowledge) will have some insight...
    I have 25001-121 Ext, Dakars (Lr095r) with U-bolt flip kit and Timbren bump stops.
    Since rear shocks are 1" longer - collapsed and extended-- should I be worried about extending bump stops or something, to prevent shock damage at full compression?
    I haven't taken it off-road yet, but when I will, I would want to avoid damaging them.
