    The part number I posted just a few posts back is this shock.
    Pr2012-ss -a

    I called king this morning and spoke to a rep.

    Edit: I will be doing a relocation and may buy bamf tower or just build my own

    I went with 12 inch as that's what dsm and bamf used when they did the groupbuy.

    I'm sure there has to be different options, Bilstien has tons of different options to get the perfect set up I don't know why King wouldn't

    When you guys are saying extended the only ones King has are the 12" or more, custom shocks that come in 2.0 diameter. For anything like Dakar or All Pro leafs, a 2.5 diameter OEM shock will work just fine.

    To find the 2.0 shocks you go under performance I believe on their website. If you do a 12" shock you have to have the relocation kit, which then makes it a custom job not a straight bolt on kit.

    Good luck, a "mid-travel" rear is basically a shock relocation, longer shocks, u-bolt flip and new springs
