Been watching a BUNCH of revalving videos. Haven't really seen one that goes into this much depth OR feature anyone like Sonny. Mad props for this. Super helpful video.
This is your best video so far. Very informative, first time I've seen the inside of the bypass version King shock. Thanks for sharing and props to your boss for letting you film at work.
I am trying to comprehend for what is a good old spring let alone a spring to use for what should the proper ride heighth of the 2004 Subaru Forester X be with carying extra weight but not wanting to change any cv shafts or anything else. Good basic info for oem struts and springs is hard to get let alone something utilitarian to cary more weight. I could see an advantage in extra ground clearance as long as it was only selecting a different spring to match simple inexpensive but okay struts. Sstoopppp😲 I didn't know there was soooooo much to learn😤. I have to nap now😔 I didn't know there was anyone machining components in America!
Haha nice work man! it was good to see you for that brief second at Downsouth Motorsports! I was there picking up my bypasses from Micah! hopefully you got everything sorted. Probably see you the weekend after thanksgiving 🤘
It’s crazy that you helped me when I picked up my Coilovers from downsouth and I didn’t even recognize you lol. Maybe you’ll be there when I take my bypasses in for a revalve.
First time visiting your channel and just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to really explain how the valving works! I don't have Kings but I do have Fox 2.5's with DSC adjusters on my Ram 1500 and this information will be helpful if I need to revalve them at any point
thanks for going into so much detail. especially about the ifp. that helped a lot to explain how that worked. i have some walker evans shocks im going to try to use on my bronco that may need some tuning, that have ifps.
Let us know on the Walker shocks and when the time comes, only reason I bring it up is that the IFP may need to be set at a specific depth prior to re-assembly.
@@DownsouthMotorsports thanks! I talked with walker evans about the ifp depth, and they said it should be 7.25". When i got the shocks they were brand new, but one had pressure, the other on didnt, and one had oil the other didnt. So my plan os to take them apart, clean them, amd see of the stacks at least look the same. Then refill with oil and pressurize, to see how they handle in the rear. Still need to build the engine cage for the front. Im out in colorado so finding some one to tune shocks locally is out of the question. Im just looking for a good base tune.
Where do you normally set the dividing piston in the reservoir? Before you fill it with nitrogen, do you bottom it out, then fill it with nitrogen, if not what distance did you set it at?
King wants the IFP bottomed out on the oil side. So that when the oil gets hot and expands the Nitrogen chamber will be smaller due to the oil expansion. So as an example if you bottom out the IFP and charge the shock to 150 psi of Nitrogen with the shock fully extended and no load on it, then check the shock with the suspension fully dropped out after driving for a bit and the oil is hot and has expended and you will see that the Nitrogen PSI is slightly greater than 150 psi.
I am not familiar with King shocks but I know they offer a number of models. Now, right off the bat, no one pointed out if the shock is right side up or facing down. After that you lost me completely. I draw stuff or something I am building and make notes, even if a custom air distribution box under the dash of a 55 year old C10 to improve function while adding my air conditioning (Not off road build here). But, a drawing of fluid flow during compression and another for extension. I have a tank of nitrogen used for A/C leaks after repair but is that what you use to re-charge after done (Yes, I have not seen entire vid) but just curious! After well over 3 decade in the dealership’s , doing a custom build for myself requires a new world of aftermarket parts. They include the Good, Bad, the Ugly and the Expensive not needed stuff. That’s why I am here. Just lost on this process. If I jumped into showing you a video of completely rebuild an “AD244 Alternator” and chipped off some epoxy, unsoldered wires and pulled the commutator ring assembly off, I most likely would have lost you be that point. I do it (That kinda Thing) for better parts, new bearings, updated regulator and damaged slip rings, plus I can completely polish the case and spend $42 instead of aftermarket might work /may last alternator for $450. Plus have it done and on that day. Thanks as things get complicated quick. DK, Omaha. ASE master tech since 1978.
Awesome job explaining the process. RUclips needs more actual explanations and technical content. I'm tired of just watching guys build shit without context. Sure you're going to put in thicker shims, but why? What is the rationale? I fee like I actually learned something here instead of just wasting my time. For instance I notice how the rebound of the main piston was stiffened, but the bump zone was not. I assume this is so the shock extends out of the bump zone ASAP. Once you have the piston there, you are out of travel. You need to get the shock immediately. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Very thorough and well done! Thanks for taking the time to take us behind the scenes 👊
I agree with your dad 1000%. Very impressed with the knowledge of both you and sonny!! Just WOW!!!!
This is your best video so far. Very informative, first time I've seen the inside of the bypass version King shock. Thanks for sharing and props to your boss for letting you film at work.
Your guys videos have become my therapy lately, Just gets me in the mood to go play and tinker around with my truck. 🤟
New video?!?! Love a channel with no drama, no bs, just straight to the point. Awesome job guys
Thank you so much for sharing this detailed shock rebuild and tuning. I have always wondered how the IBP worked and how the shock shims work. 😎👍
Rad video, super valuable. Your dad said it perfectly, DSM is the biz!!
Tha is for showing this stuff. I'm very familiar with king and fox. But I've never been able to see the I side of these newish IBP coil overs.
Awesome video.

Very cool , thank you for sharing this. Very well explained

Bought my King 2.5 IBP Coilovers from Downsouth Motorsports! Solid bunch of guys....
Sweet video, very good info
badass tutorial fellas😎😎😎😎😎
Very cool to see, I always thought the shim stack setup on the piston was used for the whole stroke. Thanks for the vid!
Hell yeah. Thanks for the knowledge
Greatness 💯
This was a great video lots of good shock tech

Quality video 🤘🏼

@@outdoorexplorationgear5070 Copy that, just wanted to be sure you had the info you needed to set the IFP depth.
@@DownsouthMotorsports thanks man, i appreciate that!
Great vid guys.
Thank you so much for this video
How did you remove the reservoir adjuster cap? Did you use heat with a strap wrench?
Where do you normally set the dividing piston in the reservoir? Before you fill it with nitrogen, do you bottom it out, then fill it with nitrogen, if not what distance did you set it at?

Hi!
Reason why a shock absorber with reservoir is soft after it is hot, is the oil of poor quality or is there another reason?
Thanks.
Wassup boys how’s everything going?
Unfortunately my stroke is all bumpstop...3" strong!
Come on bro, 3"...... let's be honest here!!
where are the damn videos i miss you guys
I'm sure it's been answered before but, in what language is your greeting and what is its meaning?
Eddie Money Asssuuuhhhh dudes....Whatsup dudes

When you gonna let me remove that purple tint and slap some new film.
Steve O send me a DM on Instagram! @thechristianewing
What a pain in the dick. There has to be a better way to make these things adjustable with port adjustment screws from the exterior!
Fox live valve
Background music sucks. Junked another video👎🏻
