Message: [QUOTE="HoustonRider, post: 185165, member: 3416"] yep, I've been in close contact with a VP at King (almost daily) and he's sending me out some replacement stickers, lol. I do want to clarify a few things really quick. 1) As they sit now and in these pics, I have a 1.5" level on the front. I have about 4 inches of travel before my bumpstops hit, and even more on the shocks, so I'm good. If you notice, this truck gets dirty and even as I drive it in rough conditions, I can tell I've only compressed these shocks about half the distance they have available (front and rear).... so I'm good unless I fall off the side of a cliff or something (rare in S. Texas). 2) If in fact King would have included ANYTHING with these shocks (like a pic of the correct positioning), or had not marked ALL 4 of these wrong, I would have had all of these installed 8 hours after I posted the pics of em in my kitchen. The delays were not being able to reach King for 5 days after I realized the fitment wasn't right, delays in their response and time I need to get this done (I'm a single dad of a 9 year old, and commuting (weekly) 500 miles round trip during a transition for my company). 3) The Ride: Its not like stock. The stock Ranchitos are so slow, they don't have time to rebound after a bump... and your truck bounces all over the road. The Kings are pressurized big time, and have a very fast rebound. Driving down the road, I still feel the bumps, but barely, and they aren't as harsh. Almost like the truck floats over them better. On the highway, I like a firm ride. I don't like the wind making my truck lean, or a swishy front end. the ride is very nice. Much more solid than stock and very responsive. At the softest settings, its even better, but stop/go traffic, in/out of parking lots, curbs, city driving, its too soft and floats around. I'll keep working with the compression settings to find that happy medium I can live with for most of what I do. The more clicks I move em up, the better response I get form the shocks. **(if anyone has a detailed writeup on their suspension for public consumption, I'm all ears) [/QUOTE]
