    Hey fam. I have a Sport 4X4. I was chatting with a fellow owner who said the King setup wasn’t much of an improvement over stock suspension for normal day to day driving. Is this accurate? I figured it has to be; especially for taking bumps, potholes, etc.

    Did he actually have a King setup and if so it might not be tuned right

    It helps with the adjustables but overall highway driving isn’t a huge difference, could be slightly stiffer but dips, bumps, turns are a night and day difference in improvements.

    Love your set up!
    Any reason for not doing 3.0's up front?

    I see. I'm sure the 2.5's are plenty good. Wonder why they don't have LT's out yet

    We have a potholed, dippy, mess of a freeway called the 5 that is the main truck route from LA North and South. It was a wild ride with stockers at 70. At 80 the Kings just suck it up. Not that I do 80+ early in the morning, that would be wrong.

    On and off road it will be a big upgrade. Especially get the adjustables to get a bit firm on the street and you put them soft when you hit the trails.

    Spot on, someone told me the reverse. On soft high speed on the 5 it felt like a boat. Now I have the fronts 4 clicks from firmest and it is awesome. Without any weight in the back I keep the rears 4-6 from soft.

    Can you run a Dakar pack with the standard 121A shocks? Or do you have to get the EXT version?
