    Don't get me wrong King is tried and true but ADS and Fox are also great products. Some people really love Icon as well. It's all about budget and what he wants to do.

    I was meaning don't cheap out on suspension if you can help it. Yes ome is good but there is better...not trying to be a dick or anything just trying to help out someone so they don't have to go back and redo suspension

    Any of them with any steel components will rust. The main bodies on all the big name companies are aluminum though so rust there isn't an issue. They all use stainless uniballs that will still rust under shit conditions, it's a wear part and gets replaced occasionally anyway. Keep your balls clean and they will last you a while.

    My Fox and both sets of my old Icons were stamped on the coil with both the length of the coil and the weight. So are my 700lb eibachs.
