What kind of shocks are you using? And did you have to revalve them to work with the dual coil springs metalcloak uses? Just wanted your opinion because I am interested in going with a setup like the one you got.

Anyone running their overland kit? I was originally planning to go with their true dual rate kit but I'm thinking the overland is better for my style of driving.

Anyone running their true dual rate kit with drop brackets?

King OEM w reservoir adjusters. I did not get them revalved but I am running them on the softest settings so eventually would like to revalved a wee bit softer to give me more adjustment. The ride is incredible ... If ur in SoCal I can meet u to let u drive it.

Anyone has any experience with the MC 6Pak shocks vs King/Fox remote reservoir adjustable shocks? Which one allows you to go faster over bumpy forest service roads while still being smooth on road?

You are comparing apple to oranges there. The 6 pack are built for one thing, long travel out of a LCOG build that requires running their highline fenders to take full advantage of them. If that is not important then hands down kings with the adjusters is a better shock that offers adjustment.

I appreciate the response and would love to take you up on your offer but i live in Chicago area unfortunately. I was thinking of going with Evo's plush coils with kings oem 2.5 with adjusters but havent decided totally pn the coils yet. Do you recommend kings air bumps with this setup?
