TRD Pro Suspension or Kings

My old bilstein TRD pro shocks are about done. The truck no longer sure footed like it once was. I am looking at getting a set of fox pro shocks, they will set me back 3K. Or pick a set of Kings for $3300 which is better suspension. I feel keeping it OEM is better for resale value. Not selling the truck anytime soon. I am only keeping the 2” lift in the front, not going any higher. Not looking to upgrade my UCA’s. I do love to drive fast on desert and high Mtn roads when I can. Anyone running Kings on there TRD Pro? How do the King stanchions hold up to magnesium chloride? They use that crap in the winter on Idaho roads now.

 

If you're going to get kings you'll want them cerakoated or steel it coated as well as ordering them custom valved for your use case from Accutune. The environment wrecks havoc on the bodies. I'd throw in the bilstein 8100-8112 into the options list as well @memario1214 can help you with that.

 

Kings imo are inferior to Fox in regards to corrosion resistance. Whether that's normal Fox 2.5s or the TRD Pro ones, I would go that route over the Kings personally.

 

Ok, that what I needed to hear. Spending over 3K to have the stanchions pitted in just a year. Back to trd pro shocks or standard Fox.
