Looking to upgrade the Red Panda, end state is Kings but due to the climate in America and my job situation, I don’t feel safe forking up 2k plus for shocks alone. So my question is Fox shocks by Thuren or the Thuren overland shocks. I will be replacing the front and real coils springs with Thuren springs as well.

I've got the Fox 2.0's with front Thuren springs. A few months and a couple thousand miles later all is good. If anything the Fox look a little fancier.

Much better than the factory springs and shocks ?

I did the 1/2" over stock front springs, Fox 2.0 shocks and track bar. The truck rides better. It's not crazy better, just better. I had a 2010 Ram 2500 that I did a Carli upgrade to and that ride improvement was very noticeable. The Power Wagon is already softer sprung so your not going to notice the change a guy in a regular 2500 will see.

The Overlands will be fine if your not going to thrash it off road. Upgrade to the Kings later on when things are right and the planets aligned.

Are you glad you did the 1/2 springs vs the 1 1/2 inch? that's on my list for next year as well as the track bar.

Overland will straight up party. I’ve had mine for two years. Just upgraded to king 2.5 and added in the rest of the goodies. You can’t beat the overlands for the price. I’ve crawled with em and done some jumps. Nothing super crazy but more than I prolly should have with em. You won’t regret it

i did the 1/2" leveling springs, rear springs, front/rear trackbars, king steering stabilizer and fox shocks. Very happy with how it turned out and the handleing was vastly improved on/off road. I did the 1/2" because i use my truck for hauling stuff and didn't want the squat to be worse than it is. King shocks would be in the far future for me.

I went with the half over stock because my truck gets loaded down with roof top tent on bed rack, motorcycle on hitch rack, plus camping and bike gear in bed. I didn't want the truck to be nose high when loaded plus it's already high enough for my liking.
