I have a BDS 8" lift on my F350 and I have dual stabilizers to help with steering. I'm not sure what kind of shock I'm currently using but they look stock. My truck feels loose in the front end I have bump steer also my truck is a little bouncy in the front end what would you recomend?
I am seeking Advice for my 2008 chevy 1500 truck 4x4. I need shocks for on road and off road. However most of my driving in ruogh road. So, could u please help me out and how much may cost for all of them.
Where must that red nob be turned to when I'm jumping my Tacoma in the desert? I've had them installed last week. Thank you!
Since this changes the hose position from vertical to horizontal, you would have to plan ahead during the design stage of the build Incase you plan on adding these latter, to prevent hose binding as remote is mounted vertical. Perhaps a brass 90 degree would make this add on much easier after the initial install. Question; Why are the “Terms” compression and extension (Rebound) not a common word used to describe the shocks action? Maybe I miss understood but the vocal description used in the many videos as this was the only description used during decades of diagnostics for feel, activity or noise. Now, with adjustable control for compression, rebound is changed I would guess inside at the piston.
(As a tech Tip) I would politely push the use of anti-seize on coil over spring seat especially but also, work a “Q-tip” or pocket screwdriver and get some on the “Heim Joint” ball ends for movement but dissimilar metals. True, depending on use, it could attract dust & dirt, but is easy to clean with carb spray, compressed air & rag wrap to catch this grease w/aluminum dust they may use. It is simple maintenance like a grease gun. Desert Storm, helicopters had to have covers installed to keep sand out as wear happened fast. Just 38+ years of experience talking out loud, but I do like the “King” equipment! My wallet, not so much. My wife spends more in a year on hair spray and her maintenance items that leave men with 1 square foot of bathroom countertop! Why? Yes dear...
What i have now, the ones that come with it 'GM'. And i feel every small pump in the road. And i need something that will make me feel am driving smooth in the rough road
Where do I need to turn the adjuster to while in the desert? Soft or hard?? Thank you!!
Great info thank you!
Nice explanation of how these work. Would you be able to make a video on how to install them?? I'm gonna buy these for my 2016 Tacoma which has the oem kit with resi. I should have gotten them with adjusters in the first place. If you show me how to install them I will buy them from ya ;)
Installation videos are in the works but it will be a while before we get to them. If you have any questions, always feel free to call or send us an email. Cheers!
Is it possible to convert King piggyback to remote reservoir?
Hello there.. i have a question. Silverado 2021 2.5 king coilovers do i need aftermarket upper control arms or not neccesary.. i know 3.0 will need uca but the 2.5???
I believe it depends if you want factory height or if you're gonna lift the truck
Does the compression help with low speeds, say driving around in town over speed bumps and pot holes?
It covers the full range but offers the most benefits at higher speeds and larger forces.
Is there a part number for the compression adjuster unit? I'd love to add them to my coilovers, but I'm only seeing the cap for sale on your website.
Contact us directly for any parts you need!
Would you recommend the adjustable shocks for a truck that tows sometimes and does everyday driving unloaded as well?
definitely some benefit here, we sell adjustable shocks to these applications so drivers can firm up the rear while loaded, noticeable difference and advantage.
So I'm adding these to my shocks. Should I just make my compression stack super soft, since like you said the adjuster sort of takes the place of it?
Correct, the existing piston compression valving should be made softer when adding adjusters.
Are you able to add adjusters to bypasses? I have a pair of svt fox internal triple bypass. They need to be rebuilt and a shrader valve added. I’d like to add an adjuster if possible
Yes, that would technically be possible.
@@Filthymotorsports how much would that cost? Who should I contact to make that happen?
From your experience and possibly from customer reviews, what setting of firm/soft do you recommend setting the adjusters to when daily driving and when off road?
Thanks for the question! That depends on a lot of variables but in general (and I mean really generally speaking) we see softer settings for the street and firmer setting off-road.
Does the compression adjuster setting matter when filling the shock up with nitrogen?
No, the king shock adjustment doesn't alter the nitrogen gas or the gas charge
So what kind of application would you not recommend these?
Still waiting for a response to this please
@@JAFO44you’re better off emailing them
I have a set of kings without adjusters and kind of wish I went adjusters because on road is very stiff. Does the adjusters make them much softer over non-adjustable ones?
Depends on the application, we find a lot of the firmness is mis-associated to the shocks, rather than the springs supporting the vehicle. IE a Tacoma owner went with too high a spring rate on their coilovers, or preloaded too much to gain ride height, both can result in a firmer ride that the shock will be hard-pressed to fix.
@@ShockSurplus interesting...thank you for the information! from your experience, at what levels of preload do you find that it makes a functional difference? 0.5", 1"?
Cam that be added after? I have 2.5 with remote reservoir
Yes, but it's almost always more expensive than selling the existing set and ordering new.
Hi Ben do you know how much fluid a king 2.5 bump stop holds, thanks
All of it
What settings do you recommend for street, desert and overland type duty. Softer for street, more compression for desert, etc? Thanks for the video!!
Generally speaking we recommend the faster the speed the firmer the compression settings should be
i guess Im asking randomly but does any of you know a way to log back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot my login password. I would love any tricks you can give me!
@George Rhys instablaster =)
@Braylen Raphael I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out atm.
Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Braylen Raphael It worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much you really help me out !
How do I reset, or start from zero settings to but same amount of clicks to all 4 shocks? Thanks best regards!
Just turn it anti-clockwise until it doesn't turn any more, so you now have the softest setting (0)
Thanks 🙏
Are they a worth putting on rear shocks on a 5th gen 4runner? If your front coilovers have adjusters ?
yes
Mine have 28 clicks
What is the best adjust on the compression adjuster.
Yes
Is it okay to ask Filthy Motorsports on a re-valve recommendation for my truck, is there a fee with the advice? I want to try re-valving my KING coilovers myself.
Also, is there a way to purchase all the items used to take apart and assemble coilovers?
and are KING stickers available separately to put on my reservoir?
We'd be happy to help. Send us an email and we'll let you know your options.
