    How much has this thread reduced the gross national product?

    Au contraire mon frere. Counter intuitively, ask yourself how many sets of Kings were bought because of this thread. Because now they’re aluminum.

    And also as a result of this thread, King has announced their own line of rubbing compound.

    I yield to your superior reasoning. Reconsidering then, how many man/hours of productivity have been squandered by otherwise productive people pondering this tragedy?

    I'm always open to learning something new but confused given King states it's anodized 6063 aluminum

    There’s almost zero chance that the people responding here would have been otherwise productive. I include myself in that devastating roast.

    I don’t know if it varies by P/N but the Kings I’ve spec’d out are aluminum, at least they specifically state that the pistons and reservoirs are aluminum. No statement as to the body material in the info I read.

    Only thing else I found was stainless steel and chromoly but those don't oxidize easily either.

    Body is steel, built a dozen + sets of them for custom apps. Sold quite a few OEM units, too. Most of the hydraulic fittings and various hardware is steel.

    I’m pretty sure it’s reduced our collective IQ. What a virtual stoning of a guy upset a detailer returned his 4K suspension in worse cosmetic condition than he received it.

    I feel for you. Lesson is to never let anyone detail your truck in the future.

    Yup I just confirmed with the super scientific magnet test method.

    I stand corrected.
