Any updates on the towing with these shocks? My factory shocks dip in the back a bit too much for my liking when towing my Turtleback Trailer, and it’s not that heavy of an overland trailer. I need something that can handle the extra weight in the back. I’m looking at the King shocks as well as the new ARB Old Emu shocks.

Towing has been great with the King shocks. I dial up the rebound a bit so when I, then the trailer hit a bump it levels out really well. It doesn’t continue to bounce a bunch. My issue though is it’s lifted so the stock hitch drop is too short and that coupled with the added weight of the trailer the back end squats a lot pulling up the front end. That’s not a King problem it’s a stock Toyota rear spring issue. I just installed Dobinsons 0-110 lb rear springs today so I’ll see how that and a few inch drop on a hitch will level the truck out when it’s towing.

You can’t go wrong with either King or Dobinsons. Both have been great.

New Updates to my original thread... now I need to start another one... I reached my image limit. More fun coming soon!
What! Hmmm, Makes no sense, you don't have nearly as many images as some of the other build pages have....

In a singular post I reached the 25 image limit. I have been updating the fist post as time has gone on. So I’ll start a second post in this thread with PT.2 updates until I get to the images limit and repeat, etc.
Fantastic build and loving the look. I may have to wrap the roof of my Meteor Shower at some point; looks simply fantastic and my wife is also a big fan of the black roof look on the LRs. Also will be following you for continued feedback on those Kings...can't wait to swap out the stock suspension.
Cheers!
Cheers!
