King Shock vs Stock Fox Comparison?

[befast]

Does anyone have a specs comparison of the King shocks versus stock? What exactly does the $4800 buy you?

The Fox 3.0's haven't been released yet. . From what everyone says about the 3.0's $4800 buys you an awesome setup! It's my next purchase as soon as Fox gets these things out there!!

The question was Kings versus the stock Fox shocks that come on the Raptor.

 

[King Shocks]

King Shock’s new bolt-on, OEM performance kit for the Ford, Raptor delivers increases in wheel travel, damping force and overall performance when compared to the stock suspension. King’s engineers have spent countless hours tuning the shock valving to enhance off-road performance without compromising the Raptor’s on-road manners.
The front monotube, 3-inch diameter coilover with King’s Wide Range Compression Adjuster has over twice the piston surface area to provide greater damping control and 20 precise clicks of compression adjustment to fine tune the ride for any type of terrain. The nitrogen charged remote reservoirs help to cool the shock fluid and prevent shock fading when you need performance most.
In the rear, the kit comes with a race proven 3-inch diameter, triple bypass shock with nitrogen charged, “Piggyback” remote reservoir. The bypass tubes adjust both compression and rebound damping to provide total control throughout the travel range.
Like all King shocks, they are made in the USA to strict precision tolerances using the finest billet materials available and are serviceable with simple hand tools. When the time comes, you can rebuild your King shocks to factory fresh condition for many more years of reliable service. If you want uncompromising performance from your Raptor, nothing else provides the durability or control that King does. When you ride on Kings you’ll know, there really is a difference.

King 3.0s are on my list of future mods.

So this truck build below has the Kings installed, and it seems to sit higher. Does the King bolt-on kit put the truck at a higher stance?

We built this truck here at our shop. In addition to the 3.0 Kings we installed our lift kit, that's why it sits higher. The shocks are ride Height adjustable with a spanner wrench, so you can defiantly raise and lower the truck, similar to a perch adjustment. The Kings you have to feel to believe, They are that good!

I spent some time in Outlaw's RSV3 last week... I must say, the Kings do make an impressive difference in the ride. The off-road performance was substantially better, but what surprised me was the fact it rode ON-road as good or better than stock!
