    I know I'm new here, but just got a set of Kings from a local shop and chiming in.
    @PapaBear it doesn't sound like you're getting jipped. I don't know what their price is on IBS/part number wise but if it's less discount, then that's something you deal with. If the price is what it is, then it is. I just had custom spring rates, extended travel, and valving done on a set and the prices weren't increased for an order from my local shop. As-is, Kings hardly discounts as you'll see even at GB prices, but just be thankful if that's what you're looking for, it's at a price break.

    :cheers:

    No worries, I didn't mean to come off harsh and accusing. I'm a consumer just like you and while shopping for these, that's just the price we're dealt with and Kings doesn't much care since they're busy mostly with their race programs. If you wanted to save lots of bucks, there are alternative shocks, but IMO, the King quality and it's in the details that makes it. By the way, not sure about IBP shocks, but my single non-off-the-shelf order took about 40 days.

    Yep, that's the intention, KINGs are the Tacoma of the shock world. "All bypass orders 6-12 weeks due to king being behind on bypass shocks because of a shortage of welders" I was running wild with the number but it's what @mstudt said haha And welcome my friend, understand TW is just a website with GB's every 30 seconds or so :rofl:No harm, no foul

    I have what you need, but shoot me a PM.

    King, and a lot of other company's out there don't allow for us to display pricing. This actually is a fairly common practice for larger company's. I wish I could post pricing because that would help me from having to answer 50 PM's each morning.

    You don't need to be on the list at this point. It was really just to gauge some interest.

    Basically the same I chose dirt king because they look a little more clean and heavy dust but TC makes a great product.

    UCA's are not part of the King GB. You want to see about getting a package deal for everything you need to contact DSMS.
