Powder Coated King Shocks

Just wanted to share some pics of my King Shocks that I had powder coated. I decided to go with the EVO Bolt-on Coilover kit and Drew over at EVO hooked me up with a set of Black Kink Shocks but still had the King Blue Coils on them. But blue just doesn't go well with my Jeep so I decided to get them powder coated red to match some of the accents of my factory hooks, etc.. And after checking with KING and EVO on whether the heat of getting them powder coated would weaken the shocks or not, both said that the heat required in the powder coating process isn’t hot enough to change the coil. (for those who wondered). I decided to get them powder coated.

Now I just need to pick a weekend and try to bang out the install.. on top of that, I have new chromoly axle shafts (bent factory one), JE Real drive shafts (banged my rear one up pretty bad), and rear upper control arms to install with them.

What do you guys think?

Looks really good Mike, will certainty match your Jeep well. Let me know if you need a hand with install. Haven’t personally done the coil over kit but just let me know. Also some other good upgrades [emoji106]

Love the color scheme!! I was thinking about doing same thing when i pull the trigger on the bolt on set up . Curious on how much extra to get the black coil overs ? Also what powder coating cost was for all 8 springs?

It was $400 bucks (or $100 a shock) for the black coilovers and just under $50 Bucks a shock for powder coat. Normally I would have used the extra $600 on other parts but Uncle Sam said why not when I got my Tax Refund. Figured it was better to spend it on that than on Beer (well not all of it). :beer:

If you have King shocks and then paint them any color but King blue, do you still have King shocks? :thinking:

Looks good! That is a lot cheaper than it used to be to get customer colors.

Thanks for your post, I was about to start worrying that this thread was going to get all serious. #onlythinbluelinekingshocksmatter

I'm going to have to look for those "gas ass" shocks. Do they use hydrogen to save weight? :idontknow:
