Default King oem shocks or coilvers

Since KING Shocks are available especially JK tuned versions I need help on making a decission should I go for

KING OEM SHOCKS

OR

KING COILOVERS WITH SHOCKS

The is quite a bit if price difference and going with coilovers I need to buy, cut, and weld brackets. If I go with Coilovers I will go with EVO front coilover kit and Aplha 1 Rear Coilover Kit.


So should I wait save some more coins and go for coilover or just directly replace them with King oem shocks.

If you are willing to wait and save then do it and get the coilovers.

I did a mistake by putting different lifts/shocks on my JK and ended up with EVO set up finally.

It aint the chepest way but trust all is well and you will never regret it.

start saving now

IMPRESSIVE signature got some pics?

Coilover is good but too expensive for people like us bec the exchange rate and shipping almost doubles the price.. but i am still thinking of making a decission and might use the extra saved cash for upgraded brakes....

For My purpose I have decided to go with the shocks when I make the change. They are a direct replacement for the oem shocks and have longer travel than the oem shocks. Although the shocks are not something that replaces the the coil overs I can not justify the cost difference in the coil over and the additional work that goes with them.

I just installed the ORE King shocks bolt on, the advantages is that it is a direct bolt on. In case of breakage it is simpler to replace, great ride compare to my FT M-Force, they look way much tougher, and do not require heavy modification such as cutting/welding. I do not know how to weld never did that before.

As it was said above, they gives a bit more travels (than my FT M-Force) in the 0-3'' configuration.
