King compression adjusters worth it?

I used the ToyTec Tacoma world discount code so it took off $91.00 and shipping to FL where I live it came out to $1779.93, its still a lot but any discount helps.

 

Yea, I think you are right. I was just trying to get solid info from people that were or were not running adjusters and if they like, love, or hate the decision they made.

 

king pulled the discounts for most vendors this year, previous years they had more room. The big thing is when ordering them if they have it in stock, anything that is not in stock or needs to be built will take you 4-8 weeks with king

 

How so? If the Kings ride like the stock suspension on road and drive amazing offroad. Why would anyone ever need them. The adjuster is for fine tuning not complete shock tuning. You would need a bypass shock for that.

The only real option is to stiffen the shocks and personally I don’t want a stiff ride on or offroad.

I DD during the week and offroad almost every weekend and have absolutely no use for compression adjusters.

 

Some of us want them stiff for some applications. Some of us carry a lot more weight which makes the stock setting too squishy.

 

Even with 700lb coils?

 

I actually run my adjusters stiffer for daily driving because I don't run a swaybar, so yes.

 

Thats not the intended purpose of shocks. If you need to carry more weight you add leafs, leaf packs, and air bags.

I have a leaf pack rated for 700 pounds and have no reason to run a stiffer shock, likewise up front. I have 700 pound coils to compensate for the weight. I'm also not running a sway bar.

i think it really comes down to want more than need. You either want them or you dont.

 

Okay great. The damper adjusters help smooth out the ride that feels squishy to me if I don't run them up higher. I run 700 pound coils already. It feels better having firmed them up to me. The point of them is to make the car ride the way you want it to feel. If you don't want to adjust your ride and are happy the way things are, great!

 

So when you go offroad you soften them up and make them squishy?

 

Yep.

 

You run all 4? I think that would get old after a while, but then again we have to stop to air up and air down so can easily adjust while waiting on that.

 

Ive got it on all 4 and adjusting while airing up/down is exactly what I do. Also gives you a chance to inspect your wheels, tires, and suspension components before/after wheeling.

 

Yes I run front and rear. It's easy to take them softer, just spin them till they stop. Running them up I just count the clicks.

 

I used this same reasoning when purchasing mine (adjusters front and rear). My rear weight changes a lot so options are very welcome.. and in front I went with 700lb coils to try and future proof my front setup once I had a bumper and winch. Super glad I have adjustment there because I removed my swaybar and to me, body roll on the highway feels much worse when left on the softer settings vs firm (tested this briefly a few days ago after hitting a trail then heading home before adjusting back to Firm up front). For me 700lb coils and firm adjustment in front feels great on road.

Nice!! You’re gonna love it

 

Same man! Multitasking like a mofo

 

I just got an email with tracking number saying they shipped it. They honored the code as well. Talk about fast shipping.

 

What lb spring did you order? Do you have armor or plan to?

 

I don't plan to armor or anything crazy, no bumper or winch.

 

You should be good to go then. It’s either a 600lb or 650lb that comes with it normally. I went with a 700lb as I’m waiting for my bumper and winch to come in. I also ordered from Toytec. My coilovers took a bit longer then usually would because of the heavier springs.
