2.5" King rear shocks w/ compression adjuster and RR

Up for sale is a set of Kings that I bought off a member here a couple weeks ago. They aren't going to work well for my uses; nothing is wrong with them, just not for me! I am looking for a set of 2" RR shocks instead.

These things are monsters at 2.5", with remote reservoir and compression clickers. When I got them a couple weeks ago they were filthy, so I cleaned them up and ordered a new sticker for one of the reservoirs. They work great!

I don't have all the measurements yet, but I know at full extension they are about 25" long. They bolt into the factory mounting locations. I will get the rest of the measurements when I get a chance to flex the truck to full compression.

Looking for $700 with buyer covering shipping and PayPal.

 

And a picture mounted

 

Bumping in style: random picture of a dog puking.

 

Free bump for a good price. Good product and cool picture from the chive!

 

What setup in the rear did you have these with?

 

Deaver 10-pack, And these.

 

Dam, if I weren't going broke regearing right now I'd be all over this. Good price OP. Free bump.

 

Damn it!! i

 

Sunday funday bump! Here is a picture of a snake wearing a hat. Because logic.

 

Are these for use with a 3-4 inch lift?

 

That's one thing I don't know. Sorry. I have them on a 1.5" right now

 

Bumpty

 

You should post measurements of the fully compressed & fully extended lengths.


Also, why are you "going a different route" ? Are these shocks not meant for the lift you have ? Do they bottom-out/fully-extend before the spring pack does ?

 

Updated original thread for John_R1

 

So I am not sure if I measure to the top of the shock body, or the whole assembly. The shock body measures 18 collapsed and 25.5 extended. The whole shock, measured to the top of the mount is 19 collapsed and 26.5 extended.

Hope this helps!

 

Typically a shock of this type is measured from the center of the eye to the base of the bushings at the top (just below the lower bushing)


If you are rocking a stockish leaf pack (one thats not much thicker) you are going to need at least a 14-14.5in collapsed length otherwise you will bottom the shock out before the bumpstop hits.... or extend the bumpstop.

That stated ... only 7.5in of travel out of these? my OME N182's have 2.5in more of travel.... hell even the stock shocks have more travel, though obviously not as good of dampening.

 

Thanks for all the intel. Based off this information, I measured them wrong! Next time I can get to the 'ol flex ramp over at 4wheel parts, I will re-measure.

 

Are they still for sale? How many miles are on them? I have a pair of Fox 2.0 RR w/ CD adjuster if you want to trade.

 

Damn this would be a good buy or trade

 

I've see @mrbedgood rear shocks...would be a good trade for both parties
