    I know there are a lot of info on both but I’d like to hear the opinions of those who have either of these. Which do you prefer and why!

    I don't have either of them. However when I was about to get Kings the shop recommend me to get ELKA 2.5 DC, the reson was Kings only got 1 adjuster that is for mid speed, if you want a comfortable ride both at slow speed and high speed you better get a dual adjustable system like ELKA.

    Again I don't know any thing about suspension, this is what I was told. So far I like the comfortable ride.

    So between the 2 option you have I guess better look for more details on Fox DSC 2.5.

    Like kmeeg,

    I was really considering on pulling the trigger on Kings, but decided to go with Radflo after lots of research and reading tons of reviews on their suspension kits. One of the main reasons why is Radflo’s customer service. They respond very quickly to any questions I have. I know that isn’t much help for your question of Fox vs Kings lol, but how I would put it is like this, lots of the Trophy Trucks, prerunners, and Baja trucks usually run Kings, so you know their products are outstanding.

    In the end though you can’t go wrong with Fox or Kings. My buddy is running Fox 2.5 DSC’s on his Tacoma and speaks highly of them.

    that’s a definite good reason to go with what you did. But I live in Southern California and kings hq is to far away which I hope if I needed to get in contact w them that would make things a bit easier. I like the fact the fox have dual settings but kings are kings for a reason

    I live in San Diego SoCal as well. Radflo is located in Fountain Valley, which is about an hour and 20 minute drive from me. So it’s super convenient. I’m not too sure where in SoCal you’re located, but I want to say SD as well because of your profile name hahaha. There are some quality places to purchase Kings or Fox suspension kits in SD such as Dirt King, Downsouth Motorsports, SoCal Suspension, and Nexgen Off-road. All of these companies are super knowledgeable on the products they sell and also can service shocks. Maybe give one of these companies a call and they can provide you with the info you’re looking for on Kings vs Fox and could even give you a sweet deal. I would recommend Nexgen Off-road. Their prices are the lowest I have found in SD.

    Hahah yep I’m in San Diego as well thanks for the heads up on the shops and I’ll look into radflo- never herd of them before but how things go these days is new/newer companies pop up or companies from over seas finally make their way here. But I appreciate your time and might see u on the road one of these days

    Awesome ! San Diego represent haha. Of course always here to help. Radflo is super huge with the Jeep community. I have yet to hear any negative reviews on them. Heck yes, hopefully we will cross paths. Nice looking Runner!!
