Default Fox IPF 2.0 or King 2.0

I"m getting new shocks and have narrowed it down to these two, Fox IFP 2.0 or King 2.0. I know the Kings are nice shocks but they are also twice the Price. If you have used either of these shocks I would appreciate your opinion. Thanks

I run the kings and they're awesome!! They're able to handle anything on and off road! You'll never have to buy another shock

I just replaced some super cheapo Pro Comp white body shocks with the Fox 2.0's and I'm not impressed. Don't be cheap like me, spend the extra cash on some Kings.

I've run both these shocks. Kings give a much softer ride on the road. They both perform well off road. Kings get my vote.

I'm running Fox 2.0 remote res shocks. On road is a bit stiff compared to my old Bilstein 5100's, but they shine offrad. Gobble up hard hits and washboard. Pot holes and speed bumps etc are just mole holes now. I'm very happy with em.

I am running KINGs from Off Road Evolution and I will say that they perform magically both on and off road. Much better investment and you will have zero complaints!

Are we talking about these

EVO: King Shocks, Jeep JK Front and Rear Shocks KIT

or these with the adjustment. And wouldn't you make the adjustment one time?

EVO: King Shocks, Jeep JK Front Shocks w/Compression Adjusters
