King shocks vs dual valve

[Antho]

It’s not a simple King vs Fox thing. You can throw Kings on there and have someone dialing in the compression/rebound while off-road but it’ll probably ride like shit on road. The dual live valve is pretty good mix for daily driver/off-road. If you want to move for more Off-Road performance go for it. Just know you’ll be messing with the shocks trying to dial them in more than you’ll be having fun while using it for a daily. That’s the outcome I’ve had a few times anyway.

You are so right! Any time stock production parts are changed out, the need for technical know-how ramps up, as does the need to spend time to fine tune for your situation. Then your location/situation changes and you start all over again! This doesn’t just apply to automotive stuff either.

Pull the shocks off, rebuild them with quality oil, and revalve them.

Fox shocks are known for their linear valving, which provides a tighter feel and better control, while King shocks have a more progressive valving, which offers a softer ride and better absorption of bumps.
