    Spoke with a few supplier that sells both brand, most say to go with Fox because they're built with better quality. Trying to get some real opinion.

    Following. Currently looking King and Fox 2.5's for my truck.

    Only thing I can say is, in my research, Fox stands by their product with a 1 year warranty where King is only 90 days. Both look good though.

    Check out accutune off-road as that's where I bought my fox2.5's
    Front and rear...
    They have an article showing the different materials used to build both shocks and yes the foxes have better quality parts...
    Plus accutune tunes them to your specs out the door.

    Both are great shocks:

    Fox Pro's:
    Better piston rod, seals, & oil (rusted rods are the #1 cause of leaking)
    Bigger hose fittings
    Black anodize, & silver springs
    Found on OEM Toyota, Ford, Jeep, Polaris, Canam...
    2.0 & 2.5 rear shock options
    Most tuneable rear 2.5 piston for Tacoma
    Dual (high & low) speed compression adjuster (2.5's)

    King Pro's:
    Available with any spring for no extra charge
    Blue color
    Racing heritage
    Better availability
    Better factory direct support
    Willing to make custom length rear shocks for unique lift heights
    Mid speed compression adjuster
