    this is a pretty good thread to follow, im on the fence about Kings 2.5 or Fox 2.5 DSC.

    so far the stock bilsteins that i have, have given me a pretty good ride on desert and some medium trails. but will see how the new suspension handles when it does get installed.

    reviving this thread a little haha. Can you elaborate on your experience...Did you get the 3, 3.5 or 6? While I’ve heard good things about these, they’re website is really vague as to the lifting range.

    I voted rough country specifically for vertex and the ifp. I’m not seeing how fox or king are worth double the price

    I voted "Other" to give ADS some love.

    Also, I've been happy with my Tough Dogs, but I think there's only one other Taco in the country with anything Tough Dog on it.
