King, why not stick with the O.G. race shocks FOX. These shocks do have resivors, they are piggyback mounted, which is an upgrade over remote resivors. With the remote you dont get as efficient heat transfer and you have to mess with mounting the resivor, it is already mounted. King and Fox are really almost the same in quality, but Fox has a much better history with working with Production vheicles in racing and with replacement shocks. The race shocks for both companies are very good.
There have been over 30 sets sold already with zero returns, from what I have been told. They were tuned with Rod Hall as the test driver, so the valving compromise is from experience in the dezert. You can change the valving to suit your own driving if you needed. They do reuse the factory front upper bushings, fyi. |

Re: My new Shocks....soooo sessy ;-)
Well you pretty much sold me. I have much respect for Rod Hall and his crew. My brother fabs prerunners and trophy trucks. He has always used King only because we are in So Cal and King is right down the street. Customer service great when its in person. I have nothing against Fox, just product loyalty to King, I guess you could say. Soon to change. Im sure I will get a ration of crap from my brother for going with Fox, but I will be in touch. Thanks for the additional info guys!!

King does make great shocks, and Brett and Lance King have always seemed like good guys, and they are a family buisness. I can respect brand loyalty. The Fox shocks are blue, mabye you can just put a King sticker on
Larry Plank was a great driver, I remember seeing him pass 2 other Protrucks, going 3 wide in Laughlin in I think the year 2000. Larry put on a great show for us that day, he was driving the crap out of that Protruck for sure. |

Re: My new Shocks....soooo sessy ;-)
So I've had these on since June or so. In August I noticed that the rear passenger side of the truck was sitting low. When I measured both sides (center of hub to bottom of fender) the rear passenger side was about 1.5 inches lower. I was at the dealer today for some maintenance and they looked at it and found nothing out of whack and suggested that the shocks need to be adjusted. Can that be done and do you think the shocks could be the problem? Thanks!

That's just under the Rod Hall H3 racing weight. Those foxes should be just the ticket for you

Very nice Bebe! Can't wait for a performance report. Do you already have the HD torsion bars on? If so, how are they?

Re: My new Shocks....soooo sessy ;-)
I don't think there is an actual part number, they are made exclusively for Rod Hall by Fox Racing Shocks.
You can only get them from Rod, Sam, or your dealer. Sam is selling them for $918.00 for the set. Which is a good deal.
Call the dealer and ask for a price |

Re: My new Shocks....soooo sessy ;-)
So... any thoughts on adjusting these things? Do you think they could be the cause of the problem?
Thanks
