    I recently put King 2.5 coil-overs up front and Dakar springs in back.
    Had the rear cycled so that I could order custom length kings for the rear (stock location)

    Those measurements ended up as 25.1" extended and 11.5" collapsed. (ride height is 19")

    King has advised the closest they can get in the 2.5s is 25" & 15.35"

    Thoughts on what to do? I didn't want to relocate the shocks as I may go back to stock when I eventually sell.

    OME shocks which are made to run with Dakar run 23.11" extended and 14.06" collapsed.

    What is the best option here? 25" & 15.35", or have kings make them them closer to OME lengths, or is relocating the only real option and if so what length do I order?

    My truck's off-roading consists of some hunting trails in the Black Hills of SD but nothing more severe than that to this point.

    Only have a couple days to pull the trigger so any advice I can get would be greatly appreciated.
