    you should give Accutune a call then. Ride quality comes from valving. If you buy 3.0’s for ride quality you are grossly overspending.

    3.0 only gonna be worth it if you beat the shit out of the truck for extended periods of time.

    A trip to the local desert with 8 hours of high speed bouncing and bashing on a routine basis would make the 3.0s worth the decision.

    You would only compare 3.0s if youre debating long travel. its an Internal Bypass setup

    But how will I give my followers new content, including an unboxing video, on Insta and Youtube without buying these?

    We had a kit in stock :D

    The 3.0 is an Internal Bypass Coilover as compared to the 119/119A 2.5 Coilover.

    I’d advise against jumping it with any shock. Check out the owners who have cracked their supports above the front radiator mounts.

    But, yeah 3.0 shocks would be sweet.

    How much preload did you put on King 3.0? Do you have thread count for both driver and passengers side?
