    Dont know if this has been asked. Between the two wich is better?

    I'm looking in to 2.5 EXT W/resiviors and adjusters all around. 600 or 650 front springs, and the appropriate length rear to accommodate 2-3 inch lift.

    I can't find any substantial difference between the two manufacturers.

    Any body have experience with both FOX and Kings?

    Nike or Adidas? In N Out or Whataburger?

    They are all good. Some people have their own preference and will lean more towards 1 or the other.

    We personally use King shocks for all of our builds and Race trucks.

    Check out the links that were posted above

    In n out for burgers, Whataburger for fries, Wendy's for fries and frosty

    McDonald's vanilla shake and fries is pretty good too.

    Seriously. Try it. It'll change your life.

    @batacoma , I also vote kings, but based solely on bias. I like blue and I just dropped an assload of money on 4 corners worth of them.
