Did LiDAR confirm Kings as the high point? I seem to remember that being a question that came up in one of the LiDAR threads when all the new data first came out, but I don't recall if it was ever confirmed (or deemed something that needed to be confirmed).

LOJ shows King's is still the highpoint, and gained ~3' from LiDAR (13528->13531). Second is South Kings Peak, picking up 6' from LiDAR to sit at 13,518'.

Yep! 13' higher than South Kings.
Thanks to both of you! Kings has been a low-key hiking interest for some time now, and while part of the reason I'm interested is because long, gradual approaches on trail are my jam, it also is nice to have reassurance that I'd be targeting the right summit if I am putting that much effort into a trip that's already out-of-state.
