So 2.5 or 3" shock means the width of the shock?

Yes. Think surface area and contents - more metal means easier to cool, more oil/gas inside to dampen, and the resi just does even more on top of it.

Correct, 2.5 & 3.0 are referring to the diameter of the shock body. Bigger is not always better. The 3.0 IBP actually uses the same size piston as the 2.5 DIA shocks.

I'm waiting for the Nigel Tufnel Signature Series . . . I hear they will go to 11. :)

If you're spending money and wanting coil overs Just call Accu tune! Don't over think or over complicate things. King or Fox they will build your set and dial it in for YOUR needs and their customer service is amazing.

I'm not endorsed any way by accu tune but I've installed and used their products. Always impressed.

They are a VERY hefty price tag. Shock travel is still not the best. In my opinion, these would be for the person who will ACTUALLY be doing some high speed stuff for hours, or racing. It’s interesting that they even made 3.0s for the broncos considering there’s only a fraction of owners who would actually need these, and those guys probably aren’t running factory suspension components

Yea, I think the market fo these is pretty slim. Similar concept with Ford Raptors, and then having high end shock upgrades for a standard F150. May be more of a portfolio piece than a high selling sku.
