I have around 100k on my Kings and am a maintenance freak so I came up with this schedule on my own so it may be overkill for some. Kings hold up very well so you really don't have to do much unless there's a significant fluid leak or loss of pressure.
1) Check pressure and adjust as necessary once a year (Carli's near by and does it for free)
2) Clean with simple green once/twice a year as needed
3) Had the front shocks rebuilt by King (they're close by as well) at 60k there was a small amount of leakage but they probably didn't need it but, I did it anyway
4) Drained and refilled the fluid in all shocks at 75k (Carli did it for free while they were on the vehicle)
There's usually a small amount of oil seepage around the shaft that spreads around over time because the shaft goes in and out of the fluid with every compression stroke, it's normal and nothing to worry about. It only needs attention if it's dripping on the ground.
