    That’s what I was thinking and it doesn’t specify on their web page that they don’t come pressurized :annoyed:
    Makes me wonder if they actually tuned the shocks or if they forgot to pressurized them

    @chuymoreno I replied to your message.

    Yes it is normal for any universal fit King Shock to be shipped without being charged. They come to us like that from King, and they will not fit in the boxes if there are charged.

    For almost every OEM direct fit King shocks, they will charged with 150psi of Nitrogen.

    Got everything welded up yesterday. I’m gonna change up how I mounted the Resi’s and then pull everything back off to paint. Then I can move to installing everything on the front hopefully sometime soon!

    did you have any shock mount binding due to not having a spherical bearing? I'm in the same boat, getting some billys for now until the kings come in. just worried about the rubber on the shock mount when im flexing out

    Could anyone tell me what hardware (nuts, bolts and washers) that comes with this?

    I got a diy kit used and it is missing hardware.

    Thanks in advance!

    Grade 8 bolts n washers to attach shock to upper mount and grade 8 bolts, washers, and nuts to attach shock to lower mount. I'm sure you can email Jerry at BAMF for exact size and lengths

    I'll be running the same shocks... how did you set up the washers spacers top and bottom?

    @JLee Any guidance on the spacer setup recommended for the Fox 2.0 12" (FOX980-02-045)
