Name and baja titles alone......shock is only as good as its valving, and with any rebuildable shock the fact you can rebuild and revalve plus it's last shock you ever have to purchase fir that vehicle makes it totally worth it..... Some just don't know much about suspension or even use it really....$1500 for set of last front shocks ill ever need....yeah it's a good deal
I ordered Kings with reservoirs they said that it comes out of the box 2.5 I hope they don't write stiff I spend 1500 bucks for the front ones I'm taking out my 5100 adjustables these are way too stiff hopefully the king shocks are smoother
@@michael5704 I would lower the shock pressure first. I went to King in Socal since there local to me and they said the superlift shock pressure is setup to 300 psi. They lowered it to 150-175 and it dramatically changed the ride.
Depends on ur application The either ride stiff or super soft so you have to tune them.....I'll take 5100 bilstien or Fox's all day for half the cost but if you need to adjust and ur builds really being used or deep pockets then use king.
Don't know if you've already done a video on this, but how about one on gas mileage AFTER lifting, tires & wheels, and re-calibration? I guess what I'd like to know is the mileage on a 2020 Ram 1500 with a 6 inch lift and 35" or 37" tires (Nitto Ridge Grapplers).
You will lose some gas mileage but that is going to vary truck to truck and according to how you drive, how you used to drive and exact sizes/setup. It would be hard to give a straight answer to all trucks man! 🙏🏻
@@CustomOffsetsTV I completely understand that, but I do see that you have a lot of shorter videos. I guess what I had in mind was you sharing a few of your own personal experiences to include the guys you work with. Could be a 3-5 minute video. You could share what size lift and tires you run for certain vehicles (personal vehicles)and what you get for average gas mileage. Of course your viewers would also share their experiences and results in the comments. It was just an idea that I thought might be helpful to anyone looking to lift their truck after seeing it on another channel (they only did it for one truck). Keep up the good work, love the channel.
HEY!!! Ram 1500 4+4 5.7 3"level. 33's on 17. stock otherwise What's a good lift, shock set up for some pretty serious off roading yet still okay for street? More into function than looks. Maybe around the$1500 or under? I'll check em out... Thx
I wan't to switch to remote reservoir coilovers up front on my 7" RC lifted 2011 Suburban 1500 4x4. What do you recommend? RC's website has not added the Suburban to it's Vertex page yet. Now they show preloaded coil lifted N3 struts (no remote reservoir). My Suburban never came with all that autoride or magnetic ride control bs. So what are my options for remote reservoirs up front?
@@jase1911 I've got a 13 Silverado 1500 and have been running King 2.5s for years. Bombed out DTLA roads, bad freeways, endless desert trips towing a toy hauler filled to the brim, off-road exploring and hoonery and most recently an Idaho loop from SoCal. They've been great and money well spent. Now upgrading to 3.0s with Bumpstops and A-arms. You won't be disappointed.
Well they sell both King and Fox and others, but the question is whether or not they've ran both on the same identical vehicle to determine which one actually feels better and performs according to what the driver is looking for
Honestly can be valved and be just as good. Maybe even better if you consider the DSC adjustable Fox shocks. They just aren’t as flashy as the show truck crowd likes. Instead of performance, these dudes are just worried about flexing for Instagram likes. Fox has a ton of racing heritage and research that goes in to their products, honestly there are way better places to learn about shocks than Custom Offsets
@@MillerRL96 how are Kings better? Fox uses better seals, shock oil and shafts. Fox shafts are more durable which will prolong the life of the shock. In addition, Fox uses their DSC Adjuster is one of the most advanced shock adjusters on the market.
I've had bad experience with fox. I had one give out 2 months after install. their warranty is lame too.. had to ship it back to them (me paying shipping)for" inspection and repair approval", then wait till they decide to fix the shock and ship it back. 3 weeks out all because their product gave out
My grandpa has a 2000 dodge ram 3500 with a 24 valve. Its got a bad vp44 bad starter and a broke frame. I'm thinking of asking if he will sell it. If I get it it won't be no show truck. Just a work truck. Soo. Does anyone think its a good investment? I can get most of the parts in the junk yard
So what you are saying is. You own fox coil overs and don’t want to admit that king is far superior and will probably always be top tier shocks and coilovers for off-road
@@MillerRL96 calm down. Fox and king are basically the same. Had king coilovers then I decided to switch to fox coilovers and I got a lil better ride quality

I have Carli tuned kings and it’s superb...the best most comfortable ride in a diesel truck...no harshness with the correct springs.
Carli + King Dominator kits ftw
@@ShockSurplus yep that’s what I have. Fully optioned dominator kit
Generally if your only complaint is that it's too expensive, it's probably worth it.

What’s ur vehicle
@@SALMAN-xj1ff I have 2018 tundra, so far they run great there well maintenanced, I’m at the point now I’m going to upgrade coil springs and leaf package for the added weight
Not hype. The kings on my tundra are freakin amazing. The handling on the street is way way better and the comfort off-road is great.
Do they ride soft on the road?
@@michael5704 king shocks are adjustable if you want it soft you just need to rotate the valve
@@michael5704 overall a better ride driving. Eliminates all the annoying body rolls and nose dives. I just got mine done @ 88 rotors and don’t regret buying them. Still need to test them off-road but it’s def a night and day difference
I had KING and with all confidence I can tell you they are so hard even on the softest setting , so if you want a uncomfortable ride get KING!
Get softer springs, my guy
@@666ismyluckynumber springs are not the problem shocks are
Same experience here, i specifically bought them for a comfier ride in the desert as well
Name and baja titles alone......shock is only as good as its valving, and with any rebuildable shock the fact you can rebuild and revalve plus it's last shock you ever have to purchase fir that vehicle makes it totally worth it.....
Some just don't know much about suspension or even use it really....$1500 for set of last front shocks ill ever need....yeah it's a good deal
Best truck racing shocks, hands down!
If that were the case, Baja winning champs wouldn’t be running FOX🤣
Dude, got a custom set of their oem front shocks for a good deal can’t wait to throw them on and find out
how did they turn out? holler if you need to service them
Whats the point when you reck your truck with big towny rim!!!
🤣
Love my king shocks!!!
i have a superlift and my kings are stiff for these socal roads. planning on getting them revalved to soften up the ride
Will reducing the preload lower the front end a little bit?
Casey Manns yep
I ordered Kings with reservoirs they said that it comes out of the box 2.5 I hope they don't write stiff I spend 1500 bucks for the front ones I'm taking out my 5100 adjustables these are way too stiff hopefully the king shocks are smoother
How difficult is it to have them re-valved to make the ride softer? Should a shop be able to get it done rather quickly?
@@michael5704 I would lower the shock pressure first. I went to King in Socal since there local to me and they said the superlift shock pressure is setup to 300 psi. They lowered it to 150-175 and it dramatically changed the ride.

All alone in Alice Springs. I’ve been waiting for the only authorised repairer not on the eastern seaboard to get parts, very frustrated.
