    These guys, there is a port for adding gas, but I'm not sure if they come apart easily.

    How many miles are on them? I can get them apart and take a shot at a revalve, but if they have a bunch of miles on them a simple rebuild may be all they need to not suck haha, but it depends on what you're looking for out of them.
    Also, is the port for the nitrogen through the top? I've done other Fox 2.0's, but not any of those OE ones.

    30k miles, I'm sitting around 6k lbs vehicle weight, so the valving hasn't been adequate since I added the armor.

    She's a big girl haha
    With 30k it's about time for a rebuild also. I can give it a shot if you want, but for what you'll have into a rebuild and revalve I would recommend looking into putting new shocks on it.

    What's the Jeep mainly used for?

    Fair enough, properly speced kings are definitely on the to-do list

    DD and frequent off-road trips.

    I'm happy to do them for you if you'd like, but if you're frequently wheeling it, I'd recommend putting that money into better shocks that will be better suited for that Jeep and you'll probably be happier in the long run with them. Keep me in mind if you ever need those Kings rebuilt or revalved though! I'm putting a lot of focus on learning and getting better at tuning so let me know if I can help you out!

    Sounds like a plan. I was learning about valving on my taco, getting the rear leaf pack to work right, flutter shims are key.
