Not sure if there's another shock that has this feature. I think fox does but not sure.

Adjustability is a nice feature. RK has them tuned to their kits already but you can request specific turning at anytime. Good luck on the build. This was the toughest decision I made.

I take it you went with the 3-5" shocks?

Yes, I'm using the 3-5" versions. On-road it handles incredibly well. I keep it on the softest setting around town and it rides very smooth yet controlled. It is definitely a much nicer ride than the TF 9550 shocks I had originally.

The King's are going to handle great on and off road,, because of the adjustability. soft,, hard,, on road,, off,, its entirely up to your preference. buy them,, then enjoy them!

Well just ordered 3-5" for the fronts and 0-2" for the rears plus RK 2.5". But the shocks won't arrive for 2 to 3 weeks :( out of stock.

That's what I'm thinking on doing keep it nice and soft for the daily driving and nice and hard for the offroad thing.

Thank you Chris I figured since this is an OEM line they would be kept in stock. The 0-2" are available but The 3-5" are not. I'm doing 3-5" in the front and 0-2"in the rear. RK springs are 3" lift in the front and 2" in the rear.
