    Not a fan of adjusting the newest king shock configuration. It's so much better when it can all be done on the truck, but it's gotta be done.

    These just showed up for a TW member. Hopefully we'll be installing them tomorrow. please keep me in mind if you need total chaos or dirt king products

    @glorifiedwelder I installed Light Racing UCA and noticed that the rim is hitting the sway bar when turning all the way to the right even after an alignment. Any chance you can take a look for any recommendations?

    Damn! Why does all the good stuff happen in SoCal? Everything I want or have seen from softoppers to excellent fab work happens down South. I live 2 hours N. of Sacramento and would love to get some gusseted spindles or a fabbed up shock relocation kit. I'm a 1st gen also though. Guess I need to find someone closer. Keep up the killer work! Looks like you have a lot of satisfied customers!

    So, looking into options for rear shocks on my 4runner-looking for additional travel over stock. Options of course include shock hoops, tower or going from vertical to angled mounting inwards. What sort of ballpark pricing can you give me for those options?

    Here's the second half of yesterday's work. Mounts on the side allow future expansion and recovery treads as well as hi-lift can be mounted on either side

    I was going to say, that was a crazy set up. Always trying to see why people switch brands. I've seen a lot of people go from Fox > Icon but Icon > Kings.

    Good to hear.



    I see it quite a bit. King is the gold standard and thus the reason they are seen on most vehicles that make the podium at off road events. You don't see many race cars winning with icons. For most expo rigs it really doesn't matter, but if speed and reliability is your goal king is tough to beat.

    Cmc on @inv3ctiv3's taco. Very cool truck that's purpose built with no bullshit.

    IMG_8435.jpg


    IMG_8417.jpg



    This picture shows how much more we cut back past the previous cmc he had. All cab mounts I chop are cut to these same specs. Only way to get more clearance is to completely relocate the cab mount
