    I Have been contemplating whether or not to upgrade to such a high end suspension such as some King coilovers without running them with for instance the total chaos long travel kit. I don't want to spend the extra 3 grand for the travel kit at the moment. If I do choose to upgrade to a suspension similar to this will It be worth while? I'm sure Ill see SOME sort of improvement on and off road even if I'm not using the suspension to its full capability. Any suggestions, input, and first hand experiences would be greatly appreciated!

    I just installed the king coils w/resi and they're so much better than the pro comp crap I had on there before. I'm just having a pain in the ass time trying to adjust the height ride. 20170315_190222.jpg

    So you want king suspension with out long travel?
    They do have king coilovers for stock applications, mid travel and standard 8" for long travel.

    You will see a noticeable improvement. Even without lower arms. They make shocks for all applications.
