Fox or King?

For weeks I've been going back and forth between Fox extended mid travel 2.5 dsc kit and kings 2.5 Remote Coilovers w/ Compression Adj. I know they are both badass companies and both shocks are better then the other in certain areas. I plan on running full steel all around the truck. Full skids as well. Anyways let me know what your opinion is. If anyone is running these kits let me know how you like them!
 
We have always ran Fox and never had any issues. Their support has also always been top notch. Don't think you can go wrong either way.
 
So currently I have full steel front and rear bumpers with full steel skids and a cap on the bed, I plan on upgrading in the future when I have the spare change but it's way down the line. What I've been eye balling is the mid travel icon adjustable coilovers and a 700 pound spring, the rear an extended travel bilstein i think its like a 600 series or something I'd have to look into but essentially it just gives a bit more travel but who knows maybe I'll just go with an icon rear shock as well. I also went with the delta join uca from icon because I live by the ocean and the northeast so it help keeps them free from sand and salt. For rear leaf pack Dakaar Heavy Duty leaf pack with add a leaf is a great cheap option but 90% chance they will squeak like a mother fucker (mine do I dont mind) and I want to add rear air bags as well for all the weight when I add a drawer system, fridge and rooftop tent. The options you listed would also be great and I've heard ADS is a good company as well. I would just say with all the weight make sure to go for the heavier spring, leaf pack, and air bags are a god send for going from a road drive to on the trail!
 
Kings for the win! Absolutely no complaints here :)

I second ADS. I have been running their 2.5" extended travel a little over a year and they have been amazing. I have had no issues so far but I have contacted them twice with questions and they have gotten back to me same day. Great company & product
