We have run these trucks quite a bit, and all three have subtle nuances that are noticeable. I think each owner would be partial to the setup he has, but that said, the king truck with the deaver springs performs very well. It is too bad it wasn't available for Raptoberfest, but will be at TRR 14. I will say that on light bumps or uneven terrain, the Kings are bumpy, almost like they are irritated. When you get into high speed, high compression type stuff, they shine. So much has to do with the settings on all three. The ability to adjust the king and icon has always been a selling point.
Conclusion: If you are looking for the "perfect" suspension before you make a decision, you won't find it. None of them are great at everything. You have to pick the one that is either best at what aspect you want it for based on your driving style and terrain, or shoot for middle of the road across the board. Nothing wrong with either approach. That's why the first question we ask you is always "what type of terrain do you mostly get into".
Thanks for the writeup Will. Kings in April....

Would still like an unbias, 3rd person to drive all 3 at TRR14 and give a nice little report. Preferably someone who has a stock setup. Just saying.
But I stick to my statement and the statement of others, I doubt you can really go wrong with any of them. Just tweak them to your needs.
