King is backed up 34 weeks...

...just FYI.

Looks like we'll be going to Moab in a stock Ranger.

May need to pick up some Dramamine for the trip...

You could get Eibach or Bilstein rears for about $200 for a pair and at least get the rear end calmed down. I realize they are not the same as a set of Kings.

That’s a shame. Did you check eBay? Looks like a few shops have some of the king stuff for the ranger on-hand already. Maybe you can find what you need in time from a reputable seller?

Icon? Fox? Not worth waiting for over half of a year. I waited 10 - 11 weeks for Fox 2.5's

Instead of King perhaps you could go with another reputable brand that will give you similar if not better results?! Old man emu BP 51 or perhaps Fox 2.5? Just a thought

Icon seems to be pumping along okay. And their new leafs are pretty slick.

Hi Doug,

King needs to understand why they cannot deliver in a timely fashion...They are loosing money. Managing Ford's off road racing, King was top drawer, but slower than my tortoise, Tito.... They just do not get it or choose to be that way. Do not know... Great product if you can get them...

Does Tito have 16 clicks of adjustable compression damping?

Hi Sheepdog,

No to the 16 clicks....he is either asleep or awake... Well, maybe three more....Eat, Poop and pee.... So 5 clicks.

They are VERY nice, no question.

Didn't know it was a running theme with them though.

Was just throwing out an alternative that seems to be available.

Did you buy them and are waiting or are you open to alternatives?

I think I would only be happy with the Kings...

Sounds like you're a little biased on your brand there. Have you only experienced king or have you checked out other brands? With that said What brands have you tried before in the past?

I supposed I have I not convinced you of the midrunner package.

It will be a mid-travel setup, but it will be done my way...
