Default King Racing front coilovers and rear shocks

I found a set on Craigslist for $1000 with 15K miles and a factory rebuild 3K miles ago. The ad also mentioned that they were also upgraded to include a compression adjustment dial. They look a bit beat up but then again, they aren't new either. I was hoping to eventually get something like a Camburg kit but if this is a better deal then I don't want to pass it up. Not sure if I would need UCAs or not as I run Raptor rims with 285/70R17 Duratracs. I hate to spend another grand after I just got new rims and tires but I don't wanna pass it up either

Background for my pickup: it's my personal and work vehicle with most of my work being off road in pastures and farm roads. I also do some hauling, usually a 2K pound car trailer and whatever vehicle needs taken to/from town and I hate how much it squats so I've thought about buying an RAS to help with that.

Thanks in advance!

That is a good price for that kit & the compression adjusters are very trick. I would highly recommend aftermarket UCA's with it. You can always run the wheel/tire combo you have now and upgrade when you have saved for the set you want.

Front Coilovers & the 2.5" res rear shocks would cost right under 3k thru us - that does not include the CDC units which add about 250 cost per shock
