King shocks
Why the obsession with king coilovers ? I notice alot of folks have these on their "wish list"........Is it looks or function?...........What is it you plan on doing with your rides to choose these ?

It depends on what you're using your truck for. It's the way to go for a crawler or anything where you have extreme articulation. If you're not twisting and contorting your axles then I don't see a point in blowing the $$.

Yes i have, why would you want coilovers when there are better products out there...........
The monster truck boys are a prime example, over 95% of them use K-S Nitro shocks, not because they look cool but because they work. The object of the game is to get more flex, why would you want a mechanical spring in there ?
Lets see if i can persuade you otherwise.........

$600 per shock? Sorry, I think I just crapped my pants. Well maybe that's a small part of why some guys are using coil-overs. And I thought the CO's were pricey.

Blower project has to wait until next year. This year is all about suspension. If I have enough $$ to get rolling on it next spring I'll build a 545 stroker and then the blower. Still kicking around nitrous. Then again I have to get a tranny built to handle 800 - 1000 horse which means more $$. Tell ya what, if I win the lotto I'll buy KS Nitros too.

Gawd.....whats wrong with the world.....I agree with buzz. I run my Cougar on juice, but its NA. I don't much see the need in running laughing gas with a supercharger. I am glad the ricer boys like running juice on their turbos though...its pretty funny to watch them blow their intake through their hood.
