    Would you recommend the Road King shocks upgrade?
    I'm looking at trying the FOX shocks on mine ... Rebound dampening fades after about 50k miles on OEM shocks

    Hey KB,
    I used them on the last truck with air axle, they look cool but i did not feel a big difference, didn't leak ,are quite expensive , imo a waste of $, and same poor feed back/reviews i read from many other drivers on this site.
    I would try Fox, i know are good quality, i had Fox on my off road jeep, but when i purchased the Road Kings from Raney's , they used to have them in stock, delivered in a couple of days. With Fox, see their website bellow, 279$ each and ..ships in 12-16 weeks !! !! maybe are ordered to manufacturer don't keep them in stock.

    Here’s my diy video installing steer air ride. everything you need to know and might answer all of your questions. Pay attention to it I’d assume you got the same kit.

    Thank you much ! Mine is exactly the same ...pretty much straight forward
    Any angles has to be adjusted for drivetrain to avoid damage ? Do you have pics of the height rolling ?
    I liked the grease for the drill and rag under truck :)

    Great video. I'd love to put one on my 379. What did that kit cost you?
