    Awesome! So much better than my Kings/Billy combo. They felt like push/pull and not working together so when I moved to Fox rears it’s just night and day. Rear is calmer Offroad and onroad it’s just nearly plush.

    I’ve driven over 4000 miles on them on highway and Offroad. Wouldn’t trade the progressive set up for anything

    Cool. Thanks for the info. I think I’m going either King w/ adjusters up front and Fox rear or Fox all around with adjusters up front.

    Sorry for such a noob question but...would the 650lb# spring allow for a little more lift without pre-loading as much? What does a 650# spring do for the ride if no heavy bumper, etc...I plan to get the compression adjuster

    650 springs means the spring rate. 13" springs is standard, 14" springs would give you more lift without pre loading the suspension too much. I have the 650 spring rate and 14" springs. It rides plush on and off road. I only have about 100 lbs up front but no bumper just yet.

    This is exactly the reason I went with the OME nitro chargers as well. Set them and forget them. To a point of course... I’ve only read and watched good things about them. A I know people who run them where I live (co).
    I commute 80 miles four days a week and then don’t off road during the winter basically on my weekends during the summer. So not a whole lot. But wanted something better than OEM. cant wait to get mine installed!
