Thuren has discontinued the King 2.0 shock line as they felt there wasn't a performance advantage over Fox 2.0s, but check out these other Thuren offerings!
Our complete front and rear KING 2.0 IFP Extreme kit will lift and level the truck properly, while providing a much more controlled ride. Street ride and small bump/choppy ground ride quality is also improved quite a bit over our Overland shocks.
Our KING 2.0 IFP shocks are designed to be as smooth as possible on rough roads, highways, and smaller choppy terrain. They are great for moderate to even heavy towing, and small to medium square-edge bumps are controlled very well. High speed washboard roads, and mild slower crawling type driving, are all great for these shocks.
Even though these shocks may perform great in bigger off road terrain, being a small 2.0" diameter size, aggressive off road driving with desert-type terrain can overheat these shocks. Over heated shock oil is easy to assess, and will void warranty. Heavy highway towing would never be enough to over heat these shocks. If you ever drive on more aggressive off-road terrain, for over a continuous 15 minutes at a time where the suspension is using full travel, especially in the hot summer months, our larger 2.5 shocks are suggested.
The KING 2.0 IFP Extreme kit adds many of the parts used in our higher end systems, which aid in handling, control, and comfort when driving harder off-road. The KING 2.0 IFP Extreme System will let you drive a bit faster on rougher terrain compared to the standard System, and will be more balanced and locked in on rough highways, with the awesome rear trackbar system and our KING steering damper.
Please note that if you choose the 1/2" lift front option, the rear of the truck will remain 1-1/2" higher than the front. This would be good for people who have a few hundred pounds of gear in the truck bed at most times.
The included rear coils springs are quite a bit softer than the stock Power Wagon coils. The ride quality and suspension travel benefit also comes with the drawback of more sag when weight is in the bed, or vertical on the hitch. The rear suspension with our coils will sag with weight similar to a 1/2 ton truck.
Wheel travel over the factory Power Wagon is increased about 10% in the front, and 20% in the rear. Massive improvement in off-road control.
