You may find you can run a different pressure now that you have better shocks too! Looking forward to seeing them installed.

Yes. Once I get the level valves on I can really fine tune. It sits level now but I like when the back is a little higher.

Installed front and rear. Excited to test out.

Install was stupid easy. Took 1½ hour, hardest part was getting stock spring out since it had the 2" spacer. Worked out well since these are built with a 2" lift also, I took measurements before and after I installed and drove it a min. 1 side was 1/16 higher.
I went with the stage 2 but they go all the way up to a stage 6. I do worry a bit that I should have went with a stage 1 though.

For the price you pay for them, I'd hope they would hook you up on a revalving if you needed it!

I am sure it will be great tho!

Valving when they were getting made, free. But now I would need to un install, ship to King, wait and I think it's about $100 per shock, then shipping back and install. So not really worth it at this point unless something needed a big change.
I did bump up the pressure to about 52/53 in the rear.
Found a little spot in the dirt that looks like 3 speed bumps right next to each other, about 6" tall, has a little kick up before and down after. Hit it at about 45mph... hardly could tell it was there.

Little back road roller going about 40mph. Now I really need to get a video of going over the railroad tracks.

Needs a tube bumper with a bikini plate if you're keep mobbing like that!

How did she feel in the dirt and in the air? Happy with the valving or wish you had done something different?

No tube bumper, only messing around. It's not a parking lot princess but I dont plan to be too stupid with it.
The valving seems good too me. I work and live on a farm and do a far amount of driving, so it has worked out great for me so far. If I was to get more off road or desert I would have definitely wished I gone to a stage 3 or maybe 4.
I do have a video that I took those clips from. It almost looks boring, you cant even see coming off the ground or the landing. In the cab was even smoother. Once I get a few clips I'll make a short video.
