Rides great, huge differences.

Just a heads up with an issue that I had with the same shocks. When I had full articulation in the front, the front shocks would turn causing the reservoir to turn and either rub the frame or the tires. I relocated the reservoir to the top of the spring perch and that seemed to solve the issue. You may not have any problems but it is something to keep an eye on.

Interesting. LoPo noticed my front driver side King was rotating on the last run we did. When I got home I checked the top nut and it was loose. I tightened it down and it doesn't rotate now. There doesn't appear to be any clearance issues, but I'll check next time I'm out.

Got any pics of your relocation? I'm curious how the piggy back shocks look with it mounted differently.
