On my king shocks one adjuster moves like butter the other one is super hard to turn any idea shocks are brand new

My reservoir hose is to short on my fox 2.0 I want to mount it on a separate bracket. Shocks are brand new. Can I just swap to a longer hose without adding oil or nitrogen?

[@88divinegrace]

Thank you for sharing. Do you have any information on how the shocks perform at -20º and lower temperatures? Is there an oil that can handle that? Success on the new adventure.

[@ShockService]

We have tuned shocks for many cold weather applications and there is more than just oil to take into consideration but yes, they can be tuned to work very well below freezing.

@@ShockService That's perfect. Thank you.

I have a king OEM series coilover that came from the factory with a reservoir hose fitting clocked ~30 degrees down, rather than nice and flat like they normally do. I'd like to adjust the hose back up, but it doesn't look like the ORB fitting uses a jam nut+ washer. Instead, it looks like the nut is directly contacting the shock cap, and it goes to a 90-degee JIC swivel tube fitting. Is the ORB still able to be rotated then locked back down, or would this need to be rotated at the JIC fitting?

Almost all King OEM kits use JIC fittings to allow the hoses to be rotated as shown in this video. Email us a photo of your fittings and we'd be happy to help.
