    Eh, to each their own. The money is already spent and they're already on. You'll only spend more replacing them but that's your call.

    I was also thinking about trying out Elka once the Kings are due for a rebuild.

    Hadn't heard of them, I'm have to look into them. If I were going to swap my Kings out, I think ADS would be the next contender. Very rarely seen them, I hear nothing but good things.

    I’m a fan of factory finish, Fox shocks (OG, better materials) and zero bling.

    On topic my kings (all six of them) look like I pulled them off the titanic. Two years old. Two trips to Utah in winter.

    I wash my truck after each offroad trip, regular car wash soap and a brush takes off 90% of the dirt. They look like crap if I leave them though.

    I’d guess most don’t even off-road but who knows.
