    Hi,

    Just wanted to give a special shout out to @Speed Freek for working on my suspension today. He installed King 2.5 w/res, Baja kits UCA and a deaver mini leaf pack.

    He was professional, very knowledgeable, took care of my truck like it was one of his own and an awesome guy to be around.

    He did an amazing job. Couldn’t be happier. I drove all the way from LA and it was totally worth it. Highly recommend! Tell all your friends about him. Legit guy. Thank you again!!

    Here are some pictures. My truck is not done yet. I’ll be installing new tires and rims this weekend. SCS Ray 10s with/BFGs :bananadance:

    Awesome! Glad you are stoked bud!! Was a bit of a rough start with the mud bog right after the rain dumped! Was really nice meeting you and I really appreciate you coming all the way down to see me. I know there are plenty of other options, however I do my best to go above and beyond trying to make sure all my customers are completely satisfied. :thumbsup:
    Thanks again for taking it to me and it was really great meeting you!
    That truck should be a lot of fun especially since you sprung for the adjustable Kings!! You have quite a badass setup my friend!!

    If there is anything you need or simply have questions dont hesitate to contact me. Im always here to help.

    I hope you dont mind and copy and post this to my work thread?

    May be a basic questions but just wondering where did you pick up this kit? Well moreso does the Kings-Shock on the Baja kits website include everything needed to install? (not including tools obviously)

    Nice. Always good to know a good mechanic.

    What made your decide on Kings and BajaKits rather than others?

    He’s a great mechanic for sure. If you ever need work, hit him up.

    As for me choosing King, I wanted to have the comfort knowing that I have one of the best suspensions money can buy for off-roading and for daily driving. Theres a reason why they’re called “KING” haha.

    There’s a saying here in TW... “buy once, cry once”.

    As for Baja kits, after doing a lot research I heard nothing but great things about boxed UCAs so I went with Baja kits.

    FOX, ICON, total chaos are all great also. I just went with King :spending:

    Yeah those are the way to go, will make your setup even more badasser, lol. Its way better than slamming into your rubber ones felling like they are going knock a tooth loose!
