I've seen you post a some good things about Fox, too. If a customer came to you with the following info, would you recommend a Fox or a King system (as a general leaning -- I'm sure more specifics would be needed before making a firm recommendation)?
* 5th Gen Limited
* Intend to install LT28570r17s on 17x8.5 rims (probably a Stealth 6)
* Want it lifted only high enough to support those tires
* Will probably add a rear locker
* Okay to replace XREAS
* Will be weighing the truck down with front bumper, winch, probably a back bumper (though less aggressive) with spare tire holder, ladder, and gerry can; roof rack, RTT, and bat wing awning; and a 200 pound (when empty) drawer system (trekboxx)
* Want the ability to fairly easily adjust the suspension for varying conditions.
* Will not be a daily driver except during inclement weather
* Plan on doing some expedition and low to moderate off roading (probably never any real rock climbing, probably never the Rubicon, though it's tempting).
* Will often tow a relatively light trailer (something like a Patriot X1)
* Want a comfortable ride that inspires confidence in snow and slick rain
* Want a system that is unlikely to break or get stuck in low to moderate off roading.
* Would rather have something that is reliable with slightly worse performance than something that performs great but is less reliable.
* Assume the above requirements are more important than price, though price IS a consideration
WHEW!
Fox or King?
