Anyone have King Coilovers 3rd Gen 4runner?

[oazntoyo]

I'm looking on changing my suspension setup to King Coilovers. I had 5100's Tundra's installed a few months back but decided I'd rather have something different. If someone has a 3rd gen with King coilovers, or knows someone willing to give me a ride in one, I'd be happy to buy some beers!

Thanks,
Mark

I've driven and rode in [MENTION=82154]GSPRunner[/MENTION]'s 3rd gen both when it had 5100s, and now that it has King coilovers. It wouldn't be fair to compare the two. The Kings are better in every way.

I don't think you will be upset with King unless you're trying to get back to an OEM quality of ride.


[MENTION=120150]TotalAutomotiveLV[/MENTION] has some amazing pricing if you give them a call, shoot them an e-mail, or message them here on the forum. I'd recommend them to ANYONE.

Radflo has a linear valving which could be interesting to try out. I don't like how they mix with GSPRunner's progressively valved King coilovers though.

Yep...definitely love my Kings over my previous 5100 setup, which I ran with both Tundra springs and Eibachs. But for the kind of stuff I do with my truck I needed to upgrade and the Kings work great for me. And I do run the Radflo shocks in the rear, while those were definitely better than the 5125s I had on and helped the rear catch up to the front, I'll be changing those to King someday as well.

alright here you go

Fronts - Kings 2.5 resi w adjuster 700lb coils Vs. Bilstein 5100 w TRD Tundra springs

Rears - Kings 2.5 resi w adjuster Vs. Bilstein 5100 series

Notice the size difference and how stout the Kings are

Kings are a great shock to go with, and have been proven as one of the best for the 3rd gen over the last 15 years or so. The king should ride much smoother compared to the 5100 on road, and will be able to handle larger bumps better offroad.
