    I think they'd be a bit more expensive than ADS, probably in the $2300-2500 range.

    I had a chance to see these in person at the Off-road Expo in Pomona, Ca last weekend. Build quality is as expected, top notch. They’ll definitely be able to take a beating. I’m sure people’s wallets will take a beating as well.

    No kidding? Damn. I figured they'd be around the cost of ADS, last I heard they were around $2100 or so?

    Old Man Emu suspension. Brute Force Fab front bumper, rear dual high clearance rear bumper, sliders and headache rack.
    I thought a triple bypass meant you were almost dead?

    Their rear bypasses won't be spec'd for deavers. Waste of money imo. Ads deaver spec'd 2.5s offer way more performance and are considerably cheaper. Still a much better option

    I have contemplated doing the R&D to offer a 3.0 bolt in bypass like I did for the 2.5 bypasses, but honestly, have yet to have anyone really be disappointed with the 2.5" performance so it has yet to really be a priority. Plus, the 2.5" shocks already a somewhat tight fit with the lower shock mount. So for right now I am just working on the rear bumpstops as well as an updated version of my shock relocation for mounting a 12" shock under the bed with SUA leafs. I worked with ADS to make a Shortened 12" 3.0 Bypass to try out. Should be a fun set up for guys not wanting to cut into the bed.

    I'd be ALL OVER a 3.0 deaver spec'd bolt in and I have friends who would too. We were excited to hear about the kings but we're out after learning they wouldn't work with deavers. Also interested in your new shock relocation but a little concerned with the shock angle of a relocation set up. My friend already had a very bad experience with the camburg kit. Definitely want to the most performance without cutting the bed and really not looking to do rear glass if I don't have to.

    The first truck I did with the SUA kit has been running strong for 3 years now with no issues. The shock angle hit around 40* at full bump with 16" of travel, so it's not too excessive. My upper shock mounts are more robust as well. I'm currently doing the updated mounts on my personal truck and will be testing pretty soon.

    I'm not opposed to doing a bolt in 3.0 rear set up, especially if I see that the interest is there.

    I have 3 trucks including mine getting the new SUA shock set up here soon, so there should be some good testing soon. My truck already has I96, but we are waiting on some sets of the I96 HD amd XHD to come in for the other trucks

    I honestly doubt they will ever release it. They did the same thing last year right before SEMA with the 3.0 Tacoma coilovers and 3.0 Tacoma rear 3T bypasses. They never ended up producing them.

    Icon's 3.0's retail at $2800. So I would ballpark in that region. King and Icon are generally pretty close and ADS is in the same ballpark as MCM mentioned above. If King does end up doing these, hopefully they do an internal bumpstop in it because the ones in the Icon shocks are game changers.

    There isn't enough space for a 3.0 and SOA. The only real way to get the 3.0 is SUA. The Kings are about $2500 but they will have clearance issues with K37's so might be why they aren't spec'd for Deavers.

    Do you know if the Icon rear bumps will fit with rear King’s with External Resi?

    Although I love and run their products it’s hard to get a hold of anyone especially when via email. I wouldn’t hold your breath.
