    Thanks for the advice! Honestly, I didn’t have the suspension set up by a specialist, but I’m considering going to one to get it properly tuned for the terrain here. I’m also thinking about adding some hydraulic bump stops.

    Appreciate the tips—sounds like it’ll be worth the investment to get it set up right!

    6” in the front? That sounds massive and not feasible

    The kings have internal bypass and internal bump stops
    I suspect the valving or springs are not quite set up right, otherwise you wouldnt be bottoming out harshly.
    The Camburg bump stops are an easy way to soften up that last bit of bump travel to keep things from bottoming out.
