Has anyone else had this problem? Is there any way to lock the shock in place so it doesn't rotate?

I had the same problem with my Radflo reservoir shocks. Luckily they were attached with a hose and clamped to the shock body (Like a resi Bilstein 7100) so I was able to detach and mount the resis on the frame. If yours is a piggyback style then you may have a problem. If so, it sounds like King didn't do a lot of R&D with their design (As Radflo didn't either). As much as I like the quality of King, Icon seemed to nail it on the fit & finish as their reservoir suspension components come with remote mounts and custom brackets for the resis that hold the in just the right place. The shock will always rotate if there's nothing to keep it spinning, because you don't want the top nut too tight as those shocks do flex around in the mount with the bushing according to Sonoran Steel, so if they're overtightened it could cause problems.
