Been running the 2.5s for about 6 months now and they are awesome. We used to run the Bilstein 5100's and after blowing two of them we upgraded to these.
We run the shocks at 11 clicks and found this gives us the best on/off road performance and comfort.
Hopefully you are installing bump stops as one of the major cautions King places in their instructions is to install them to prevent full compression.
We are running king bumps up front and tereflex (poly blocks) in the back.
Congrats on the purchase. Great upgrade.

The more I drive it the more I like it it feels like a complete different vehicle on back roads feels like is on rails doing 40-60mph.
Not that I recommend it but is good to know how far u can go with your rig!
Haven't had a chance to drive too much on the highway but I'm sure is very impressive. And I can't wait how it does on beach driving and sand maybe next weekend I hope.

The upgrade looks great! If you don't mind me asking with the lift and shocks how much price wise were you looking at? I want to do something similar to my 2 door rubicon.

The max factor RK 2.5" was $1300
Alignment $150
Labor $600
Tax a little over $4000
I have been on some jeeps with inexpensive lifts and some with AEV pricy lifts and all feel just about the same I'm pretty sure off road the shine better than others but the real difference is the coils as there is no more nose dive on hard braking and the lateral body roll is pretty much gone you can feel it in back roads at 40-60mph driving.
But the kicker is on how soft over bumps the ride feels with the kings small bumps are almost impossible to feel I have it set at 10 clicks front and rear. I can go even softer but I don't want to feel like I'm driving a hovercraft lol.
Off-road have not been tested but I been told the kings true colors shine when they are off the pavement.
I been told I'm nuts for expending almost 2Gs on just the shocks but after driving it I have no regrets I spent that much.
