King 3.0 coilover

I did a search and couldn’t find anything... is there anyone out there running the king 3.0 coilovers? I’m seriously considering doing so and was looking for opinions from guys that have them.

Thanks!

 

Probably too large. And way overkill for these trucks

 

King makes a 3.0 bolt in kit for our trucks.

No way it’s overkill, guys run 2.5 coilovers with a 2.5 bypass all day. I personally hate bypass shocks on a daily driver... they are loud as fuk!

It will fit but kinda useless for our trucks, 2.5s are even overkill in many situations.

 

I had a set on order, but one of my friends ended up picking it up off me. I was hoping he'd chime into tw with his opinion after he installs it this week.

 

The thread I've been loosely following is this one. You're right, though, not much info. You might want to contact Rogue Offroad and get their take on it all.

I saw that thread and that’s what got me excited... I’m serious thinking about pulling the trigger, these will really finish off my bomb proof front end

 

Oh hell yeah. I would LOVE to know someone that's running 3.0s. I'm poor so ain't happening. But let me live through you bro

 

After all the work I’m putting into my front end I feel the truck really deserves the 3.0

I’m doing it for the truck not for me

 

dude...let's see that front end. Got any pics?

 

You're a good man. Putting others before yourself

I know of three trucks that have had the 3.0’s on. I wish there was more info this setup too lol

The selling point for me was the internal bypass

This is going to be purely a matter of opinion and may differ because that's what opinions are but....

I don't see how a larger diameter C/O is comparable to a dual shock setup as they do very different things. I've had very brief conversations about this topic with people but the two reasons to go to a larger diameter c/o are because you need more dampening capability or you're fading the current setup and need additional oil capacity.

A bypass is for zone dampening and often times leaves the c/o as more of a spring carrier than anything. I've not actually met anyone who has cavitated a 2.5 shock with resi, specifically on a stock length application, which makes me lean towards the 3.0 being more of a marketing technique than anything.

 

Have the 3.0 IBP on the front of a 3rd gen. Hard to find its limits when the back end cant keep up. 12" King 2.5 smothies from Accutune.
