    I ask because u can definitely make an argument about how you could have died because of the fail or at least trashing your truck.

    The spring will keep the truck up. Will be a bouncy ride though.

    I’m sure there is some point where quality control takes place. My guess is king likely does that although hey I guess they missed one. No offense to wheelers, but I bet they just receive oem shocks and then send out when they are sold. Dsm might perform qc checks on their inventory, but likely after they tune that given shock.

    I put them on truck, but not all the bolts. Just to get past HOA. Also, my alignment is for Kings at lower height. Dont want to drop $99 for Icons, then when I swap to Kings again, drop another $99

    When you weld on the cab mount, you wanna do a bunch of little stitches, working around the mount. Don’t want to get it too hot and cook the rubber bushing.

    Did you try calling wheelers? Curious to see what they say as I think I got my coils from them since they always got plenty of stock it seemed.

    That’s good man, let’s be honest it’s times like these that warranties were generally created for...manufacturer defects.

    Exactly! Mad props to Wheelers and King for working this through. Hoping it all works out

    I like to think it was me harassing him and @Braves95 on the radio at AOAA last year until they got into double digit speeds.

    I’m sure it will...hell you still got the blue zip on the bottom. King has always been solid in customer service and working with people from my experience.

    Unless you order cistcu valved, i'm sure they all just ship inventory off the shelf from King.

    It's probably a bad fitting, from whatever hydraulic supply vendor king buys from.

    Exactly, I say that as when I ordered my bypasses from dsm they did a valving and shim stack adjustment before they sent them out. That’s the good thing about dsm, they are familiar with a lot of set ups and have developed some preferences along the way.

    I put that zip so the misalignment spacers dont fall out. Just happened to be blue.

    I would like a free T-shirt from this

    Yeah, I ordered my kings from them, but not anything special. Pretty sure they didn't open the box from when it came in from King till I got it.
