    Working on it
    I currently have an OME lift on all 4 corners, full Dakar pack, heavy coils on nitrochargers. I have a front shock leaking oil so I feel I may as well upgrade. These are out of warranty and it's my fault anyway.

    The prices are really all a toss-up, $100-$200 difference any way you swing it, which is really nothing when you're looking at a performance set.

    My problem is I can't make up my mind what to go with. One of the biggest things I need is corrosion resistance, as I'm in Central PA and they throw salt like crazy in the winter.

    The choices are all 2.5" remote Resi:

    Fox
    Icon
    ADS
    King

    Also considering the OME BP-51s.

    Who has the best stuff? I end up doing more low speed stuff, as there isn't that much wide open terrain around here.

    In terms of corrosion all of the top shocks shocks will be pretty similar.

    King uses CAD plating which is slightly better than zinc used by everyone else, but it's not going to be drastically better.
    And a lot of it really comes down to how well it was applied.

    The BP-51's will be the best due to all aluminum construction, but I'd research their reliability before taking the leap.
