5th Gen 3" Lift: Kings Extended Travel vs Old Man Emu BP-51

Upgrading to 3 inch lift. Deciding between:

Kings extended travel with adjusters, OME 2889 rear springs, and Camburg uniball upper arms

vs

Old Man Emu BP51 3" Medium Load Kit

Any strong opions on which is better? Cost difference is only about $300.

Which is better offroad, which is better on road? Has any one tried both?

King's vs BP-51's

There's lots of other info out there. I can't speak personally to either as I haven't run either, however, I'd consider seriously if race style shocks are really what you need.

I happen to own both. On my '12 I have the BP-51's with SPC UCA and OME springs in back (don't remember which ones). In my '19, I have king long travel with adjusters and Total Chaos UCA's. As the video above clearly explains the shocks are different but both very good. I love the quick adjustability of the Kings more than the BP-51's but both ride very well on the road. As counter intuitive as it sounds, I do not wheel the '12 but do the '19 hard, and I love the Kings offroad.
