Has anyone seen this in action or know of a company using this on a JK. Looks like it could be a good in between level from the basic entry level and the EVO DTD. I'd be interested to see if iat could be adapted to work with the EVO coil over system

These things look pretty sweet. Anything King has got to be worth it.

I wasn't able to find anything online before I had to leave for work. I may call tomorrow and talk to them at king about these. I'm curious what travel lengths they are available in and pricing as well.

Curious of how they are mounted as well... It would be nice to have something in between the high prices of EVO's coil over kits and the basic spring+reservoir combo..... I doubt it but I can dream until I find the actual price.

saw these at the king booth at tierra del sol and can tell you they are way to long to go on a jk. since the bypass has to go completely above the carrier part of the shock its not really worth mounting on a jk in my opinion

^^^^^^this. These are too long and don't yield the travel you would want. You would need to be at nose bleed height to make em work or go through the tub to get any travel. If you want DTD you gotta pay the price, or make your own bracketry and go to a 2.5" king coilover with internal bypass. They work if you want a bypass.

These cost more than a regular coilover.

Thanks for the input guys. Wasn't real sure on travel and length. Just saw them before I was getting ready to head to work. I don't know if I truly need the DTD. Just thought the were a cool concept. Hell I still can't decide between the 2.0 the 2.5 w/adjust or the bolt on coil covers. Then there is the king air bumps to factor in

Go coilovers if u are considering it, otherwise you prob will wish you did. Air bumps are nice, but not necessary and expensive. With that said I went coilovers and air bumps front and rear. :thumb:
