King Suspension

Hey guys,

Just thought i would ask the Question on here. Is anybody else in here waiting on a set of king 2.5's with remote res and compression adjuster? I ordered a set back in august and was told 6-8 weeks. I just got told 10 more weeks 2 weeks ago. Anybody have any real world lead times from king? I seem to get a different answer the 2 times I have called king. covid seems to be putting a hurting on the aftermarket industries.

 

King is known to be slower than fuck. It took me 14 weeks to get some shocks a couple years ago around this time. It's also racing season (Baja 500 just happened, 1000 is next month) so those things are prioritized from my understanding.

 

I wouldn’t be surprised King waiting on small parts and seals coming from Asia. Same problem we are having in bike industry.

 

They’re all way behind, I’m sitting with same scenario from fox currently

 

Yep it sucks....good thing is I guess it’s given me enough time to wrack up a bunch of the other parts I need for this build lol. How long is fox saying their lead time is?

 

Yup I can see that. I would pay extra to get mine sooner than later now....but I’m not a pro racer or celeb haha

 

i would love to know a lead time at this point lol, i cant get a straight answer out of camburg, fox etc...fox did just build a new plant in GA that is opening soon if not already that should help clear some up. What kings are you waiting on? who did you order through?

 

I'm in my 3rd month waiting on a rear shock for my Yamaha Zuma 50 motor scooter.

 

I ordered through wheelers off-road. I got 2.5’s extended travel fronts and I think I’m going to be right at 14 weeks. I’m 7 weeks in now.

 

That ain’t good lol

 

i finally started scouring for used shocks even but cant find what i need

 

Yes, big lead times all around.... it hasn't been fun for us. Especially when the lead times change :/

 

Im waiting on my rear shocks from fox as well. Was told 4-6 weeks but we will see! Fingers crossed!

 

Ordered king 2.5's through BajaNorth in Canada at the end of June, into the 14th week now....
Was hoping to test them on some dirt before the snow flies but its not looking good.

 

lol im at 4 months, i sure hope you get yours in 4-6 weeks

 

all these long wait times and i havent moved my used king 3.0 setup

 

Meanwhile 88rotors posts new pallets of king showing bi-weekly on their Instagram. I’m jealous haha.

 

I could only imagine being the middle man and having to explain to the customer that their parts are going to be double the time they were told.i know i was not happy, I’m really hoping I’m not stuck waiting another 7 weeks at this point. Of course it’s race season so I’m sure they Have to put regular orders on the back burner.

 

"race season" is no excuse and I highly doubt they are putting regular orders on hold for racers. Fox and King don't make money off racers. A lot of these off-road race teams don't even get their shocks serviced by the factory. We are also getting pallets of King and Fox shocks in every other week, still not enough.

 

Do you guys have any king 2.5's extended travel for the tundras in stock or will you have any in sooner than 7 weeks?

 

PM sent

 

Im only waiting on rear shocks. Already have the front coilovers! So again fingers crossed. I hope you get your parts soon!!

 

when did you place your order? I talked to king today and batches of rear parts are expected to be in 2 weeks from now.

 

Im not waiting on Kings, Im waiting on Fox DSC rear shocks. Sorry for the confusion. And I ordered my fox setup about 2 1/2 ago or so.

 

I got my ADS fronts and rears in less than 2 weeks. If your not completely sold on kings maybe you should give them a try.

 

I have heard good things about ads but i have already waited a while for the kings and I’m not ready to cancel my order and pay a restocking fee that i may have to pay for canceling my order.

 

I ordered KING 2.5s and was told 14 weeks. Got an email a week later that they shipped and I got them. Turns out that they sent me the wrong spring rates so I had to send them back. They got them on Oct 5th and I haven't heard back from them yet as when they are supposed to ship back.

 

Who did you order through and when did you order them?

 

I ordered them Sept 10 from So Cal Supertrucks

 

10-4 i ordered august 20th and my order keeps getting pushed back further and further. I didn’t order anything custom either. Just 2.5”s with extended travel and adjusters. I just got told December before my order will be complete. Talk about a huge letdown.
