    SDHQ has answered a lot of your questions in here. Maybe you should give them a chance to earn your business. Just sayin..

    He can go thru them for Icons but not if he chooses King. The reason is they no longer carry King products. SDHQ has been great to me in the past and they are definitely a solid supporter of TW and the offroad scene:).

    Sdhq has been great, they were super helpfull when i went from 6" to mid travel, they rebuilt my crossmember and did an outstanding job. Not to mention they have every fab part including the ones needed to go sua last minute and not having time to order stuff from defined.


    On the same note i have bought all of my shocks from DSM and can only say that each experience has been a pleasure! Shocks always come early, built the kings to spec, and even threw some black/white king stickers in the box.

    We carry Kings, they will be up on the site by the end of the weekend, but for TW pricing PM me. We were just at King last week for a shop tour. Our sales Manager just got a set of 3.5" black Kings for her Dodge. (gonna be insane) We also do full rebuilds on all shock brands as well as stock the seals and oil for DIY.

    CB20207 IS THE PART #. They are a 2.0 RR. We don't have them on our site yet, just got them Tuesday. We are also having some 2.5's for the same application made with CDC!

    Question.
    If I plan on getting an aal for now, but might want to upgrade to full leaf pack in the future...should I get the extension for the rear kings? Will the extension not work without a full leaf pack?

    Havent read the rest of the comments.

    Go Icon with mid travel if you would like more performance @ highspeed because of icons digressive valving. The rear AAL is nice too. I got this same stage when I was MT and beat the shit out of it. If you want even more performance get upper control arms (icon, camburg, Built right, TC)

    But if you're just mall crawlin for the BrappyMcGnar hoe's then go with the kings.

    I would just get a standard for now, then in future get the longer rod end put on the one's you have.

    The longer shock body may be too long. We would have to cycle it to make sure nothing contacts and the shock does not bottom out premature.
