King shocks are coated in excellence. Everyone else uses tweaker spitAhhh I get it. I like fucking with Danny, so I'll let you do your thing
What is the difference in coating?

I was looking at alternative coatings and read somewhere that cerakote could retain heat instead of dissipating it. There is a cerakote made specifically for dissipating heat but I’m not going to go experimenting when since the original coating held up to the third owner.Pulled from cuckworld. Dual coating. Zinc and ceracoated. @Itaro is getting his kings redone and it sounds like it's just a zinc coat on them.

They’re not my “forever shocks” anyway
I thought I read somewhere ADS uses race quality parts in all their shocks meanwhile king uses lower grade stuff for their “oem” spec stuff. Idk does that really matter?I don't think you drive fast enough for heat to be an issue.
Either way that's the biggest difference between king and ADS. Besides lead times.
Nope someone has to patch you back up after y’all wreck from driving too fastI don't think you drive fast enough for heat to be an issue.

had fox 2.0s on the rear of my second gen for a while. Even with the valving being a little off the entire time, it's really really underrated how well a 2.0 shock can perform on a tacoma as long as you don't push it too much on hot days n cook the sealsThe 6112’s felt as good as my kings until they blew out. For the money I’d recommend 6112 and rear fox 2.0 combo allllll day assuming you don’t drive like full potato every chance you get (that’s me, full baked potato)

He doesn’t need toEasy to for you to repeat the same insults over and over? Sure, because you arent smart enough to come up with anything new.
Put the rod ends in boiling water...that will soften the loctite enough to get them off. Just use some flat aluminum, bend it around the shaft then put it in your vice to hold it.I removed the coils with an amazon piston style spring compressor. After grinding down one of the forked coil plates just a hair to clearance the coilover body, it was super easy to use and I didn't die
I pressed out the eyelet heims and placed an order for some new ones since they had noticeable play. I need to pick up a torch to heat up the rod ends for replacement with shorter ones I have on hand. Is it only safe to use aluminum jaw inserts with a vise holding the shaft or is there another hack that works just the same without marring it?
Anyone interested in some 16” 2.5 700lb fox coils? I’ll have the extended lower eyelets pictured available soon too.

Great advice, I’ll give it a go.Put the rod ends in boiling water...that will soften the loctite enough to get them off. Just use some flat aluminum, bend it around the shaft then put it in your vice to hold it.
That’s why their lead times are so bad, nobody’s working!
@ArcticelfLooks like I'm going to need some help. Just called accutune and was informed that, they would need me to send my shocks to them in order to get them revalved (tuned?). Also, their lead times are ~8 weeks.... So, @4runner DOA , since you're messing with @Itaro's valving to accommodate the weight, could you share some knowledge and help a brother out??
Anyone with knowledge/opinions, feel free to chime in
Yup, I might end up calling them. Will need to order things from somewhere. Uless @4runner DOA will come through with his stuff, and source@Arcticelf
Also, a call to Filthy Motorsports and a small fee will get you some good valving info.
Fuck Accutune...

That's right, @Arcticelf knows his stuff!!
