and the only reason for that is because people dont like to try new things lol. just because something has the biggest brand loyalty following doesn't mean its the best performers.

end of the day, none of the big names are a bad choice.

The fact that you are on here arguing for bilstein shows you have no experience in the real offroad community. If you want to argue bang for your buck I'd let you but to say they are better than kings is ridiculous. Like I said you have no experience with Kings so you can't speak about them anyways

lmfao. says the guy with a 2003 ranger on 29" tires.

a company like Camburg wouldn't run them if they weren't good. But okay.

you must be thinking of the 7100 series or some shit. the blackhawks are a 2500+ dollar shock. nothing cheap or budget about em. clearly YOU have no experience if you dont even know anything about bilstein.

and how do you know if I have experience with Kings or not? You don't know me....

oh look 2.5's oh ya so hardcore.

get some 3.0's noob. lol bisltein 9300's would destroy any 2.5" shock.

9300's are lighter, have a larger reservoir, cool faster for less fade, I could go on.

not gonna waste my time though, clearly you're a King Fanboy.

I'm not saying I have the best truck. I'm saying I have experience with both and pushing them to their limits and King far outperforms bilsteins. Sounds like you don't have any actual experience to speak on so you don't know what you're talking about. I guess you're smarter than the vast majority of race truck builders who ALL use Kings. Build one yourself and then talk

so you've run the 9300's? Highly doubt that.....

when every one else's experience with them contradicts yours, sorry i'm going to listen to the majority.

Anything bigger than a 2.5 is overkill for a Ranger
And King has amazing customer service

I can't go down to my local ORW or other off road shop and get bilstein rebuild parts or seals. Personally I'm a fox guy but kings are really good shocks and are proven to work. Bilstein has never been able to keep up with the major brands. I'm not saying they don't work cus im sure they do. But if they work better than kings or fox why don't trophy truck teams start running them? Since they try to get the best performance parts out there.

I haven't run that specific model but I have used bilstein coilovers before. Like I said... until you have your own truck built and can speak from experience then you have no say. I have experience with both and say kings are way better. You are just bsing
