Do it right, do it once. $2100 is a little steep though, especially for a "stock" height. I paid $1500 for my Kings for my Rize 8" plus $700 for the rears, custom valving. I think I've seen the "stock" height front coilovers for $1,200.

Last I checked the Sway-Aways were around $500 for the front pair.

Well i have finnally got the front coilovers on. The problem was the adjustment on the shocks were set up too long but after i got that resolved they are on and the ride was and is worth it, fyi= it raised the front of my truck 2.5" to 39 3/4". Rear with king shocks is at 40.5" so overall stance is killer next is 35" shoes. Ride is butter smooth (150psi nitro charge front and rear) just thought id let ya all know. Anyone have opinions on keeping my edge or switching to gryphin?? I like edge evo but feel theres more in there!! What up?
