    I have an opportunity to buy front and rear Kings from Craigslist. Owner says it has about 8000 miles on them. He's had it for about a year and he says it was on his show Truck. Reason why he's selling them is because he is selling his truck. He's asking $1900. I offered $1600 and he accepted pretty quickly.
    I asked him which springs he had the 600 or 700lbs. He said "I think the heavier one." I also asked him to send me pictures of the Kings on the truck but no reply yet.
    I'm a little hesitant to buy these. What do you guys think?

    I think people have been shot over smaller amounts of money. Do your transaction in a very safe public place.

    Whatever you do, I'd spark up some friendly conversation and maybe get a little background. Where he shows his truck and tell him you're into shows and maybe see if he's legit. Usually you can tell if you're being bullshitted. Don't show up in your truck, go in a different car and definitely do a drive by and if it looks legit and you get license plate and car info, just play dumb and know you have some good info. Watch your back and all be packin!!!!

    My friend that is a cop will go with me if I decide to get it.

    Good idea. I've always met at a busy mall/plaza parking lot.

    I've been trying to do that. I told him I'm trying to fix up my truck and if he has any pictures of his. No answer yet from him yet.
    Thanks for the advice.
    Hahahahaha

    Very true. Not sure what I'm gonna do yet. I need to see if he responds with any pics. I mean he said it's a show truck. So he must have pics of the truck with the Kings on.

    $1600 is close to what you could pay new from AutoAnything when they run a 20% off coupon, FYI in case your gut talks you out if this sale

    I just tried the current promo on the Kings,it looks like THIS code doesnt look like it will work. There will be others though lol

    There is a TT promo code on TundraTalk - I think its 16% all day everyday for members? Might look into that as an options as well.

    Without the promo code, it is the average going rate then.

    Not a bad idea on the TT code. Hell, I would make another account over there for that.

    I sent AA and PM on TT and he wanted PNs to provide pricing, so you'll have to sent them a PM.

    Maybe they got rid of the TT promo code?no idea

    you could save a couple of bucks and he also could be lying about 8000 miles, and everything is worn out in them but like someone else said no risk no reward. If you get the heavier springs i hope you have a heavy bumper or hit the desert a lot because it will ride pretty stiff with the 700lb springs, but who knows you may like the way it rides. I got 600 fronts with adjusters in every corner and it is a very smooth ride whatever you put them through.

    Now if you were getting a super duper deal, maybe.

    Thanks I was able to chat with an agent from AA and he was able to bring it down to $2171.30. I need to think about this.

    I'm leaning towards getting new ones.

    I was thinking the 700lbs springs would be too much.

    I remember seeing that a few months ago. I of course live in Ca and I would need to add tax to that.
