    I can't leave anything well enough alone
    custom tuned from Accutune is your only option if you want it to work well... I don't care if you go king or fox or whatever,, but a shock meant for a stock-ish weight truck, even adjustable, is just not gonna work well with the weight you are carrying to use those springs.

    I can tell you with confidence the base valving they will change it to is night and day different than what the shock comes from king... I recently upgraded the Deaver springs that are even beyond the stage 3, called the xxhd, and went with king 2.5 adjustable, with a +1" longer rod end. Fits like a glove in the stock mount points on the truck, and at ride height I sit right in the middle of the travel range of the shock, using ubolt flip wheelers bumps on Archive low profile mounts.

    Random stuff. Oh! and converted to non ADD 4x4.
    Design looks good but it’s lacking reinforcement.
    how much did you pay for shipping?

    Finished the fender trimming. It turned out clean and everything is solid. This week I gotta get the fender liners finished before we get rain. My intake power stack is fully exposed to the elements right now.

    1.5, he's providing new hardware and bushings and he sprayed the coilover body's with some rust stuff cause winter and he's also putting some new springs on one set.
    Little bit more than I paid a couple years ago, but everything costs a little bit more now.
    And he's the only local guy I know that does it so it's fine

    I’m really happy with it.

    It’s the only one on the market that has all the features I wanted…

    Installed the Magna-flow overland cat back exhaust - night and day difference from the magna flow performance series that was on the truck.

    F3EAFBD2-A34E-4D1E-890A-F482565D976D.jpg

    The performance series is nice (don’t get me wrong) loud and great tone/sound, but the the resonance in the cab was annoying after awhile.

    guess I am just getting to old (60 - ha lol). All my vehicles ( corvette, 370’s, trucks, vw’s , muscle cars etc ) over the years had headers and unrestricted loud exhaust

    enjoying this new magnaflow technology with the J tube and sonic wave cancellation to keep the resonance down/cancelled at 2k -3k rpm when cruise set on the highway

    Thanks Low profile is the goal. I'm debating on a small design change though. Something to reinforce it a little more. Hopefully I'll get some time to finish them up this weekend.

    Man that looks really really clean. Can you send me some audio of it? I've been wanting to tune my g2 princess. But just never found anything that really sounds good.
