Here is a pic of the KING coil-overs for the RIZE kits. I will get some measurements and other pics later.

I dont like King very much....they are no good for street trucks. And they are horribly over priced.

What kind of wheel travel are they claiming? With no weight on the springs it looks like maybe 4" of total shock travel available.

Yes, they are going on my truck. They are really nice in person. It will be nice to dial in 2 more inches in the front.<<< hello 10" lift

Sorry you don't like them.There is a reason they are no good for street trucks....they are offroad shocks.(Just busting your chops) Over Priced? That is subjective. There are no other coil-over options for the RIZE lift, so I bought these. You know the saying...you get what you pay for. I hope it is true with these.

Not sure what they are claming for travel. I know the KING direct replacements coil-overs for the F150 are listed at 11.5 travel front and rear. http://www.kingshocks.com/newproduct...n=new_products I always take that stuff with a grain of salt. Time will tell how well they work for my application.


Stay tuned for a full and honest review. It will be another month before everthing is installed and I finally get to beat the **** out of everything....still waiting on leaf springs and my black optioned RIZE lift kit to get done.

They look amazing, like all of King's products.

How much did everything cost you? . . and if you could, break it down for us.

Like I said...pictures do not do them justice. The coil-overs were $1550 and the rear piggy back shocks were $750. Shipping was $100. Different colors are available. I think it was $50 a shock/coilover. The only thing is it adds a few weeks to the build time. I would have done another color, but I have a deadline to meet. So I got the stock blue color. That is fine....they look sweet!

I hear you about holding off. I just bought my truck and I will have spent an extra 11k+ on parts/labor by the time it is all done.I can break it down if anyone wants to see. I had a budget, but that went out the window real quick. My gf and family say I need . LOL Maybe it's from to much when I was growing up. Oh well...can't take it with ya.
