Default 2.5 King shocks adjustable.
Can anyone help me decide if this is the way I should go??
I know they are costly but so are all king shocks.
Pics would be a lot of help too.
I'm going with a 2.5 rock krawler flex to start.

I'm running King 2.5" remote res. shocks with the compression adjusters in conjunction with a TF 4" lift. Absolutely LOVE the way it performs both on and Offroad.

I've got the 2.0s and I love them along with my evo springs. Ride is super nice. Although I can only really compare it to stock.

That looks badass! Offroad I would imagine the kings kick ass but how is it on the road is it better or same as stock ride?
I take it you went with the 3-5" shocks?

Something else you might look at are the RRD Resi since you are buying a RK kit already. I love mine. They ride great on and off road.

I looked at these I like the all aluminum body I heard it works great to dissipate heat but I like the adjustability of the kings.
Not sure if there's another shock that has this feature. I think fox does but not sure.
