King IFP shocks

Hey guys are the kings 2.5 IFP worth buying?

 

What are you planning on doing with your truck?

 

Planning to do a mid travel @ThatRedYota

 

What kind of offroading are you doing with it though?

 

Your talking about the kings with no reservoir? no i would never get the no reservoir version especially if going long or mid travel

watch this video

 

Mobbing through the desert at full speed isn't the only reason to go long/mid travel.

I just wanted a bit of extra wheel travel for wheelin'/rock crawling. So the extended travel non-resi shocks will do me just fine. If you have a few extra hundred bucks to spare, sure, might as well get the resi's, but it's not always "necessary", and for me would have been a waste of money.

So, the type of driving the OP intends on doing is important...

 

Very true.

 

Do they make king shocks with Resi for 04 Tacoma tho?

 

I didn't realize the OEM replacement didn't have Resi options. I know king can build whatever you want

looks like king doesn't have resi option for first gen. Fox does though.

 

I'm sure they do. Fox's website is a little more user friendly though in my opinion, besides they're both great brands. Here's the fox one. http://www.ridefox.com/product.php?...ta&model=Tacoma&year=2004-1995&position=Front

 

I’m sure you can get pretty much any length you want, like you say, their website just isnt that user friendly. I remember billy having a whole list of their “semi custom” lengths (1” increments).

I’ve had a hard time finding Kings (to match my mid travel fronts) on most websites; looking for ones that fit a 1-3” lift. They have “oem performance” series, but seeing as how I have a lift, those likely won’t work.

I’ll have to wait until I get my rear springs, and then start taking measurements to see what lengths I need.

 

Yes, King does make 1st gen front coilovers with resis. I know of a few people on here that have them, @snowboard704 is one of them.

King will make them for you, just call them (like mentioned, their website leaves a lot to be desired). Or I think you can order them through Downsouth Motor Sports.

 

Yep your right Ryan...

Got mine through Micah @Downsouth Motorsports .... super easy to deal with. Helped me out a bunch and got what I wanted hassle free
