BUT have one slight question for everybody the front shocks according to directions it mentioned tightening the top mount til bout 1/8" to 3/16" of threads are exposed sp as to not overtighten the top bushings.......
However when we done that to the point we measured it the shocks were loose so we tighten them little more bout 3-4 extra turns and they felt tighter.
Now after riding home that day I noticed the reservoir had turnt from being closer to coil to resting the hose onto the frame. Dont know what to do. Heres some pics for reference.

Awesome! I can’t answer your question with any certainty. It seems to me if they are loose and spinning, tighten them down more.

Mine did that as well. I could tighten one of them down to stop it, the passenger side I had to zip tie the frame to get it to stop. that was almost two years ago, no issues since.

Do you think you could find or send me a pic of what you did
When I talked to Kings they mentioned the plastic sleeve that the bushings come on removing the plastic sleeve would solve my problem
Im gonna at least give that a try today

I remember seeing a discussion thread on this a couple months ago but I can't find it. This is a common occurrence with the king shocks.

I think everybody has had a similar problem with this. I had to remove the plastic crush sleeves to get them tightened enough not to rotate. As a matter of fact I could not get them tight at all with the sleeves left on. You want to make sure the rubber bushings are squeezed out a bit.

Not a fan of the rugged ridge phone mount, the rubber clips on the ends of mine snapped off during my second month of use. I was driving on the highway and hit a bump, phone hit my girl in the boobies. Be delicate when taking your phone on and off of it!
