King DSC Coilovers and... a Scam

I found a set of king DSC Coilovers for my 2nd gen, and I’m wondering what I should use for shocks in the back.

I was hoping to do a 3” lift and had saved some money for 5100s. Currently I have spacers in the front and a toytec AAL in the rear. Once I get the Kings I should have about $300 left over.

What shocks would you guys buy if you were me?

 

Ah i see you stumbled on those King dsc ad. King does NOT make a dsc . King makes a regular compression adjuster. If its the craigslist ad its a scam. Fox makes the dual speed compression adjuster. Also heard some people were getting scammed by that guy.

 

There's a few craigslist scam ads for king shocks for 4runners and Tacomas right now. @Mully was just talking about one right now

 

Yeah i saw three, in different states too.

 

If you're going to run 5100s in the back you might as well just run them in the font

Also don't buy the scam shocks

 

You guys wouldn’t believe it. It was totally a scam! If you were looking for a quality suspension lift for around $700-900 what would you do?

 

Just buy some icons or bilsteins abs call it a day

Or save and get kangz

 

What did they say? Soldier leaving for training so send eBay giftcards?

 

No. Totaled truck. He was in Seattle his wife had them in Cali. They posted them to maine Craigslist for some weird reason. Wouldn’t send any pictures, couldn’t get a name, and when I called a kid answered.

 

Another red flag was that the shocks he was selling don’t exist haha

 

post the number up, I'm in california. Work is slow right now so I wouldn't mind playing the, "I live right down the street from you, no need to ship" game.

Kind of like when they say they are actually on some random military base, no worries I got a friend that lives out there that can pick it up for me with cash.

Let me know how it goes.

 

Ya that’s a sign for sure. I have a track record for almost spending a lot on internet scams. I get really excited for a good deal on expensive things. Then tend to put to much trust into people

 

So, i was hoping for 2.5”-3” lift. The 5100s up front seem like they will work fine with a diff drop and the right springs. But two questions. Is the 6112 worth that much more interms of ride quality? Is it true the 5100 is only good to an inch in the rear?

 

For anything over 3 inches you’ll need UCAs too to get proper alignment

If you’re just doing mild to moderate off roading the 5100s will be fine. Smooth on road too

 

So 5100s and 2.5 it is!! Thanks guys. I’ll order it tomorrow

I’m also putting stealth custom series f-5s on that bitch. If you want to talk wheels let me know I always love the opinion of internet strangers.

 

You can find Kings that cheap, and other big brand shocks. Depends what you plan on doung with the truck.

 

She’s mostly a daily driver. But dirt roads some and the occasional overland trip

 

Do you guys think there would be a noticeable difference between OME springs and toytec?

 

well they must move around alot due to financial stress. Probably why the shocks are such a good deal, the guy just needs money fast. Now the guy is on a business trip in florida and the wife with the shocks is in North Carolina 2,400 miles in just one day! What a trip. Last time I drove from NC to California it took me 3 days of straight driving with little sleep.
