I found two part number on King 3.0 front coilovers. Only 30001-401 is listed on King's website. Are there really two versions avaiable?

Not sure if King changed part numbers, but I recently placed an order and this is what I was sent last week.

Finned Resi with clickers VS smooth body Resi Im guessing.
Does anyone know if the new 3.0 IBP coil over is made for the Gen 1 now?

Down to FOX or ICON now... KING shines more on off-road from all the info i read. I need one that rides better on-road.

I have the 3.0 FOX with DSC. Works good and the clickers let you dial in the feel you want. On the street you will want the Hi and Low speed almost all the way open (Soft)

I’m pretty sure they changed part numbers. The RF at the end designates reservoir fin. You could buy a 30001-401 or a 30001-401f. Not sure what the difference in a 401 vs 407 is. Went through this when I was looking at 3.0s. Went with Fox so it didn’t matter.

LOL.. that's what I am about to do. KING is kinda confusing... besides from all the readings I had, looks like FOX will be the most comfort one on road. The off road I do, any of those 3 big names would be more than enough so I probably won't feel any differences off road.

Spoke with someone at King, they changed the part number. I was also informed that they changed the mounting process to make the install easier, compared to the way the 30001-401 had to be installed.
