    Depends on how much you wheel.

    If you think its stiff, its because from the last photos you posted you had too much preload.

    Lower it. Cut the fenders already.

    Then if its still too stiff, you need to revalve to your liking.

    Ill be taking some preload out next week when i do my cmc. I was just wondering on settling in general. People say itll drop in height about .25in after it settles but mines still the same 500 miles later

    I’m curious to see.

    Yeah defiantly gay. You’d think king would have their sit figured out with quicker turn around times. I ordered my 2.0 smoothies 2 years ago and that was a 3 month wait.

    There is a busy season - you do follow desert racing yeah? They could hire on a bunch of people and make their shocks way more expensive in the winter, but people would complain about that too :)

    I ordered my smoothies in late summer and it took that long and I know this was a bad time to order due to everyone building race trucks. So maybe it was just a fluke with the smoothies.

    Lol waiting for custom offroad parts...is nothing new. Same goes for bumpers and sliders half the time. King offers shocks for a huge amount of platforms plus all the custom work.

    At least there are options. Could have gone with SAW. Haha or icon...or fox...or ads..

    Yeah I know. I wasn’t bitching because I know this is just part of the game. And I know I could of went with other companies but I have king coil overs and just always had good luck with them.

    Hit up @Shmellmopwho or @Speed Freek You gotta mock up the axle under the truck to set the pinion angle.
