Front Stock Fox vs Fox 3.0 vs Icon 3.0 vs King 3.0: Dyno Results

[Chayse]

Curious if there was a dyno plot of the Stock Fox Shocks. It seems that you had the data for the other graphs, but there was no plot of Force/position of the stock units. Is the stock shock not a position sensitive (bypass) unit? I know this was completed over a year ago, but just curious.

Very nice. Do the force and velocities equal our typical truck forces? Or just a shock dyno standard setting?

IMO King is the best and Icon is almost the same. They are just on a different level than fox. And just look at the videos on youtube. The fox 3.0s look terrible for a $4k upgrade. They bounce all over the place through the whoops and buck on landings. The Kings and Icons are smooth.

When all is said and done they are similar....

My fox 3.0's outperformed my icon 3.0's. Both suck compared to the long travel with king coilovers and external bypasses, so I really don't have a dog in the fight at this point...

Hello I'm upgrading my suspension. I'm choosing between Icon and King. I want to know if kings are loud ON road? I keep hearing they are very loud. Also how will my ride change compared to stock with the upgrades? If you guys had the choice which would you buy?

Depends which kings.
If you're are speaking of the 3.0 internal bypass coilover kings, I'd go that way.
If you're speaking of the standard 3.0 coilover Kings, I'd go with the icons.

I am doing internal, my main concern is on road noise do you have experience or know of anyone who has them?

I'm running a king 2.5 coilover and a 2.5 external bypass on the front and don't find them noisy compared to stock coilovers.
