OFFICIAL KING GROUP BUY from DSM 4/26/2012

I just sent a pm regarding price for front coilover and possible rear 4runner piggyback shocks. thanks

 

pm replied. Not sure about the 4Runner rear shocks...this group buy is for the SKU's listed on the first post. Anything else you'll have to work out with DSM.

Give 'em a call

 

This is probably doing it backwards but do you think if I were to order the rear shocks as they normally come that I could work with Alcan in a custom leaf spring pack that would fit it without needing an extended shock?

 

My apologies for the lack of info, I should have been more specific...

The "Lifted Application" rear King shocks are built to 27.75" extended, and 16" collapsed - BUT, there is an extra fee that they charge for the "custom" built option. So, it's $200 extra to build them that way.

This option is available to you guys, but there will be the extra charge, and you'll need to specify when ordering if you want that option. Same part #, but with a "L" at the end.

Hope this clears it up...

10 days left!

 

Thanks Marco, got them installed last night.

 

nice!! did you remove your sway bar too?

 

Haven't had a sway bar for a while now.

 

Definitely interested in this. Can someone pm me a price shipped to 80751 for fronts and rear stuff. Also I may need a front diff drop added to the order even if sold separately and some Total Chaos Upper Control Arms. I got my 5100's all the way around the truck from Down South and they were great people to deal with and would love to give them my business again!

Interested... Can I get a quote for a full lift and leaf pack? (everything I would need)

Thx

 

do the compression adjusters replace the tunability of the coilovers? or can the coilovers be tuned even more so than what the compression adjusters, adjust?

I don't know the answer but the advertising states 20 zones of precise dampening from very soft to very firm

EDIT: a little google searching I found this reply: "It is a great feature, works fantastic. It is very useful if you have your shock valving relatively close to where it should be. Small changes can be made of with little effort by going up or down on compression or by changing the nitrogen pressure in the shock. There is no change on rebound. It works by changing the bleed orifice size with every turn of the clicker."

worth it?

 

pm sent your way!

I spoke with a tech rep at King this past week about this very thing. I was told that given the shock valved for your vehicle and spring compression set to your desired lift and stiffness, the added compression adjuster set at the zero position would be like having the 119's or 121's set as above without adjusters. Therefore any adjustment 8 positions to the stiffer, 8 positions to the softer, allows fine tuning while still allowing for spring compression adjustments up to the recommended max of 3" of lift. The tech said that at 3" or higher the ride can get rather hard. So there you have it, you know what I know. I will be ordering this option.

Here is a blurb from Kings wed site:
King 2.0 and 2.5 shocks have a new level of versatility and performance. King shocks with our Wide Range Compression Adjuster give you the ability to precisely adjust compression from super soft to super firm with the simple twist of a knob. The clearly marked knob offers 16 positive clicks of finely tuned adjustment. You can soften your ride when just cruising or firm up the compression when hammering rough terrain or carrying additional payload. You’ll have the ultimate in performance regardless of your pursuit. Existing King shock owners are not left out when it comes to the added performance offered by the Wide Range Compression Adjuster. Your shocks can be easily upgraded with the new technology. King is continuously striving to bring you the most innovative and best performing shocks in the world.

 

fuggit, I'm all in for the fronts with compression adjusters. regs for the rear

 

The rear is where you'll want the extra tuneability!

 

Especially with how light weight the rears are makes them even harder to tune.

 

I agree with the others, the rear is where the greater advantage is, but I going for broke and doing all 4 corners.
