So Im happy to announce as of last Tuesday Me and long time friend of mind spent roughly 3 hours and installed the Kings on D-day2.0 LOVE them So far
BUT have one slight question for everybody the front shocks according to directions it mentioned tightening the top mount til bout 1/8" to 3/16" of threads are exposed sp as to not overtighten the top bushings.......
However when we done that to the point we measured it the shocks were loose so we tighten them little more bout 3-4 extra turns and they felt tighter.
Now after riding home that day I noticed the reservoir had turnt from being closer to coil to resting the hose onto the frame. Dont know what to do. Heres some pics for reference.
So I need some advice on where to go from here.

Awesome! I can’t answer your question with any certainty. It seems to me if they are loose and spinning, tighten them down more.

I remember seeing a discussion thread on this a couple months ago but I can't find it. This is a common occurrence with the king shocks.

Mine did that as well. I could tighten one of them down to stop it, the passenger side I had to zip tie the frame to get it to stop. that was almost two years ago, no issues since.

Do you think you could find or send me a pic of what you did
When I talked to Kings they mentioned the plastic sleeve that the bushings come on removing the plastic sleeve would solve my problem
Im gonna at least give that a try today
Thanks bro they are awesome I just wanna fix that ome thing so I dont have to check and move em back into position every so often.
I hope you find it man Im open for advice

This is the passenger side. The driver I tightened up a bit and it never moved again.

Seems simple enough my only concern was hose but your hose looks good from what i can see

I’ve checked it a number of times over the years. No abrasions. It’s tight enough not to move, but not too tight where it crushed the line.

I think everybody has had a similar problem with this. I had to remove the plastic crush sleeves to get them tightened enough not to rotate. As a matter of fact I could not get them tight at all with the sleeves left on. You want to make sure the rubber bushings are squeezed out a bit.

So I used the zip tie on passenger side and that fixed that and the driver finally tightened enough and fixed that

Not a fan of the rugged ridge phone mount, the rubber clips on the ends of mine snapped off during my second month of use. I was driving on the highway and hit a bump, phone hit my girl in the boobies. Be delicate when taking your phone on and off of it!
