Kings are a great shock.

Donno, $300 to 400 for the pair would be a good deal for you..

fj40forlife · 05-22-08, 05:53 PM

250 good then? I try to get a pic of them or the spring rate. and maybe does nice bilte res mounts =]

The the 16 seem kinda big. what do people mostly use? 14s ? 12 would seem to small?

You like to know if im going to this way before i get some leaf springs and stuff. It would be going on the rear of my fj40

NEED aint got nothing to do with it. You should know that

If going on the rear, you are going to have to remove the back section of the frame for correct placement. Were you planning on that?

Yes i was planning on that. The rear of the frame well be to wide.
Planing on back halfing it if i do link it. So cut the rear part of the frame and tubing the rear.

16's are fine, but I wouldn't buy the 2.5's... springs for the 2.0's are SOOO much cheaper, and available is a ton more rates.

There's many different spring rates.

How much bigger are the coils from the 2.0 to 2.5 the d

Mace · 05-27-08, 09:04 AM

.5 inches

If you get a good deal on the 2.5 ($250 is smokin) There is no reason not to use them other than packaging. They are a bit bigger, but if you build with that in mind, it is a hell of a lot better.

If you do a lot of high speed stuff, the 2.5's are a better shock..

Thank god that 11 rules were changed so that you can replace the stock shock mounts in the rear

fj40forlife · 06-03-08, 05:14 PM

yup. had some longer rear ones but the mount on the trailing arm snap. and cause both shocks to fail nad hit anything on its ways.

Mr. Notorious · 06-11-08, 09:40 PM
