All of my local Tacoma friends run Kings and I've seen them beat the hell out of them without issues. Not to say they wouldn't have the same results with Fox but it's nice seeing the performance firsthand before buying.Any particular reason you went with King and not with Fox?
Is it really a big job to install those? What is the worst part of it?
My friend had an air hammer and plasma cutter and it was still a 930am-6pm install. Tons of cutting/grinding/smoothing. The part that took the longest was grinding down the nubs from the factory lower shock mounts because you don't want to get too close to the axle with the plasma cutter.Is it really a big job to install those?

Absolutely. Uploaded the full vid yesterday. It's a tutorial-style vid, but does show the whole process.Did you by chance take any pictures or video while you were doing it? By the way it looks good in the wheel well, you guys did a clean job.
Yeah offroad will be much better, but I could feel the difference on the 4 hour drive home. Tons of construction bumps at 70mph and it floats over them.Can you tell just day-to-day driving? I know off-road it will perform better.
Tacomaholic, do you know if the Fox set up is a Bolt-on to Tacoma's or is it as extensive installing them as the Kings were?Yeah offroad will be much better, but I could feel the difference on the 4 hour drive home. Tons of construction bumps at 70mph and it floats over them.
That's more dependent on the travel of the shock really (as opposed to the brand). Jamming shocks with 12 or 14" of travel into the stock mounting locations would hobble those longer shocks and potentially damage them since the bump stop would be useless at that point. I would guess that all brands for the 12 or 14" rear shocks would need to be relocated in a similar fashion.Tacomaholic, do you know if the Fox set up is a Bolt-on to Tacoma's or is it as extensive installing them as the Kings were?
Got to test my new rear suspension setup for the first time today. Still had a couple inches of flex left in this pic.
