    Not really asking what’s better, cause I know King and Fox are both great brands. Just want to know what are the difference between King 2.5 coilovers vs Fox 2.5 coilovers? Does one provide more height than the other? Or are they pretty much the same? Thanks.

    Best way to figure this out OP is to ride in 2 Tundra's with both suspensions and make your judgement from there. May not be the answer you're pursuing but its a REAL answer.

    Kings will sag quicker, their coils tend to suck. Fox uses Eibach.

    Otherwise same stuff, different valving probably.

    While I would agree, there are ALOT of variances. Coil spring rates, valving can easily be altered and you may not know if the truck your riding in is "special" as in different than the typical out of the box especially for King setup.

    I will say this, King is MUCH more accommodating to custom valving. Fox basically told me to Fuck off when I asked them questions. End of the line, I ended up with ADS.

    The main differences is build quality, spring rates can be changed on both, how you want them to ride can be changed on both. That’s the beauty of these shocks is you can alter them however you want, I have Kings and I love them, still on stock settings from king which level the front. If I had Fox I would probably love them too, get whatever you can afford.
