    Any 12" shock will work. Even take off F250 shocks...super cheap

    Ok thanks good to know. I ended up with a pair of bilstein 5165 series. They collapse down to 17.9" and extend to 31"....

    As long as those measurements are close to the Kings you can weld accordingly. I got a pair of new f250 shocks for $40 to work

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    I'm sure me means fitting 37's with the kit. And to juststu if you run a low back space wheel and some wheel spacers you might get them to fit you would have to try it to know for sure. There is a few guys with 35's but i don't know of anyone with 37's and the kit.

    I'm running 36's and 1" spacers on TRD wheels. Its going to depend on the wheel but I don't see any reasons you can't make it work.

    Yes that is what I meant jlee. My end game is to run 37" tires by sometime next year. I will play it by ear and see what fits. Thanks

    I like these towers, they came out nice... forgeting the extra length in the shocks I almost busted my break lines when I lowered the axle. :) I have new extended lines just need to install them
