How do Ride Shocks compare to Fox and King?

To keep things fair, we will compare 2.5 diameter shocks with compression adjusters from all 3 brands. We will review shock fitment, ride quality and durability for both front and rear shocks. Are they all pretty much the same, or does one brand stand out in the pack? Watch to find out!

I get my King Carli's on this upcoming week. SO excited.

[@71tattooguy]

Great job Guys!! Loving my Kings you tuned for me. Keep killing it!🤘🏻

[@accutuneoffroad]

Thank you!!

[@brianwestlake1472]

Now just need Ride Shocks for my 2024 Land Cruiser 250 😃

[@sheephead3]

I always wondered why my bilstein 8112 DSC shocks felt different when they get too hot. Since the oil is flowing easier when hot I’ll try increasing the compression and see how it does.

[@chocolon1129]

waiting to see if you guys come out with Extended Travel RS and 12" Rears for Tacos, will love to compare with my current FOX 2.5 DSC Per Elite series

[@accutuneoffroad]

Our Tacoma front coilovers are considered extended travel, if you check out the article on our site, we show the shock lengths. As for the 12" rear smooth body shock, that is definitely something we have on our list! Thanks

[@chocolon1129]

@@accutuneoffroad I will wait then!!Thanks

Great video Ryan

You developed arguably one of the best shock brands to meet the market since king and fox, you don’t need to suck anyone off anymore, if your shock is better just say it. Everyone has kings they suck on OE applications which is 90%plus of the consumer but everyone has them so they just follow. Fox is the guy at the office that has won sales men of the year consecutively, employee of the month consecutively but at this point is washed up and just shows up. Their 2.0s are trash and need tuning before they even make it on the vehicle, overpriced and cheap. A call to orielly’s will yield a 3 dollar strut and 5 dollar whore that gives a better ride. Getting ready to order a set, ride shocks for the win !

[@accutuneoffroad]

Thanks for the positive feedback about Ride Shocks!

[@ryan6109]

I think because Accutune's business model for almost a decade is customizing and improving the tuning each brand to work well per application, you don't want to throw that out the window, notice accutune is really comparing their shock to the tuned version of orange or blue. If it was an out of the box comparison with standard tuning the results would vary. And to your point 2.0s don't have much value, ride tuning is all over the board per application, but the bushings and shaft quality are my main complaints.

[@hwinterr]

When do the universal ride shocks come out? Need to replace my 2.5 kings lol, bypasses anytime soon?

[@accutuneoffroad]

Universal fit coilovers, smooth body shocks and bypasses are definitely on the list, just not sure when.

[@grbball23]

Sold on the rides

[@PointShiftDrive]

@accutune what would you recommend for the new Land Cruiser or GX550 for a 2.5 set up?

[@accutuneoffroad]

Thats a pretty new vehicle, so not too many options available yet. However, I know King has front and rear shock options currently.

[@juandcfg1988]

the piston of king for a 4runner coming in linear or disgresive ?

[@accutuneoffroad]

On the current King 2.5s, they should be coming with linear pistons.

[@rmat9023]

what do people mean when they say they got their shocks tuned? I have a jeep tj on 3.5 inch jks lift, which use jks shocks. Will FoX or anything makee my on an off road more comfortable/controlled?

[@accutuneoffroad]

Great question. So up until now, shock manufacturers have been offering a "one size fits all" shock for specific vehicles. A Jeep shock for example is designed to bolt in and function for that model in its stock form. Its typically a "good enough" tune. A "tune" is comprised of a piston and unique set of valving (shims). When you start adding weight to the vehicle or changing to lifted springs, the tune/valving inside the shocks may not be ideal for that new weight. Custom Tuning is a combination of addressing spring rate and internal valving to fit a specific vehicle. Custom tuning a shock will help performance and ride quality in a big way. This concept has really been taken from the off-road racing world and brought to general consumer. Not all shocks are tunable though. We will custom tune Fox, King, Ride shocks with remote reservoirs. If you purchase shocks directly from us, we will custom tune them for free with purchase. If the ride quality with your Jeep is not that great, we can certainly help out. Feel free to send out sales team an email and we can look into options for you. [e-mail]

[@Dirtbeaver]

I bought a set of kings from you guys earlier this year for my 2023 Tacoma , I have wanted kings for years, but I am severely disappointed with the ride. Very harsh doesn’t ride better than stock at all, the only benefit is the lift. I feel like I got scammed out of 5k !

[@accutuneoffroad]

Please get in touch with our sales team, we are happy to re-evaluate your setup and address the issues you have. We're also more than happy to revalve the shocks for free. Please send over an email or give us a call when you have a minute. [e-mail] | 619-722-8555

[@Dirtbeaver]

Also I feel no difference in the clicker adjustment either on the kings.

[@tonyalmazan3409]

Dirt King????

[@harrisongough6663]

Elka vs Dirt King breakdown and differences would be interesting. because I feel like dirt king claims proprietary features but are always vague and cryptic about it in ads. Then again I think dirt king would provide more client support being a niche line of business.

[@JohnnySoCalTundras]

We’ve enjoyed our Dirtking 2.0 and 2.5 with DSC shocks. We run both setups on 2 different tundras 2016s.

How come nobody talks about sway away?

who? ;)

@@accutuneoffroad Sway away race shocks. I have them on my f150.

[@accutuneoffroad]

@@1FiftyOverland I was mostly kidding. Not sure why no one talks about them.

[@ryan6109]

They've been on life support since AFE bought them; scorned every dealer they ever had.
