Thanking the person who made this video greatly. However, i would like to invite you looking into this method of tuning kingshocks 3.0 on gen2 raptor. I have done a great amount of offroading and onroad. Let me tell you what i think is another-easier way to tune king shocks with-out lifting your car or removing your tires. The method is basically opposite to the one in this video: 1- loosen the bolt just enough so you move the pin. 2- with-out holding the bolt, loosen the pin outward, meaning allowing full rebound or compression, in other words go to completely soft ( allowing the oil to move freely). 3- from completely soft adjust the pin to firmer, determine how much you want to restrict rebound or compressing, in other words how harsh-hard you want the shocks. 4- once you adjust the pin the desired turns. Now tighten the bolt down to fix pin in position. **Note from my experience using them harshly on offroad and onroad these are sweet spot for on road use that can take bumpy roads too: - rebound should be a turn or 2 higher ( firmer - stiffer) from compression. Because you want the tire to tuck in but return back to assure traction. - my current onroad setup with no load in the bed of the truck is so i made rebound and compression equal: Rear shocks ( from completely soft ) is Rebound short = completely open ( soft) Rebound long = 5 turns from completely open ( soft) Compression short = completely open ( soft) Compression long = 5 turns from completely open ( soft) Front ( from completely open - soft) = 6 clicks. You can tune your shocks from there to harsher depending on how fast, how much load you got on the truck's bed and your preference.
I feel like there must be a more efficient way of measuring the comp/Reb rather than counting approximately a 1/4 turn or one 'quadrant' 32 times.. maybe using a small measuring instrument that could use the length of exposed threads as the unit of measurement. It may seem counter-intuitive I know, but it's still a relatively sound hypothesis.
Who knew you could spend 14 minutes telling people how to tighten and loosen adjusters without actually telling us any useful information on what it actually adjusts and how that changes the ride of the vehicle 😮
Here I am watching a real guy tune a real set of king shocks, just so I can turn around and tune my desert trucks in BeamNG.... God beams bypass physics have gotten insanely realistic.

Looking for a tuning video of bypass on offroad terrain how to make it better.

Thanks for the video!!!!!!
Alan Fong Fab Merci!!
This explanation is like the guy from kings when i called. If you tight the rebound, it will become slower the rebound.
Would this setup in the rear be considered long travel
no it's not, long travel is usually bed cage setups on normal trucks that are not trophy trucks
What setting recommend for towing?

Damn you too lma my buddy just bought one and I was going to test it in game lhh
