OFFICIAL KING GROUP BUY from DSM 4/26/2012

The wait is killing me, but it'll be worth it.

 

I did it!

 

have any more pictures? hows the ride height with out adjusting it

 

I didn't measure before and after...I'd say without adjusting the coilover height you gain an inch or two...at the most. It's not much of a lift at the setting they are shipped at. I could tell it was higher when we dropped it down off the jack stands but again not huge. However, I installed the rear components next and the J66 lifted the truck more than anticipated...it's said to raise only 1.5 - 2", but I feel it sits higher than that. this is the only pic I have where you can see the height. I'll probably take more in the near future and post 'em up in my gallery. this is the completed lift with the new leaf pack etc.

 

Lookin good man!

 

what size are your tires?

 

265/70/16 mounted on a 16x8 rim with 4.5 backspace

 

What's up with that super long/funky resi hose!?

 

Doesnt look super long to me

 

Brennan, that hose does seem extra long...here's mine for reference...

 

hmmm well I dunno how I could make the hose shorter. the only thing would maybe switch the resi mounts around so they lean forward. but the resi mounts came with stickers on them "left / right" so I know they're on the correct side.

I don't think it'll be a problem as long as it's out of the way, right?

 

Taq: They're longer because King has a different orientation for the reservoirs when they have adjusters on them.

 

gotcha

thanks!

 

Brennan, it seems like a setup meant for a lt kit where the resi would be mounted farther away from the shock. I'm sure it does the same thing though.

 

Theres really nothing u can do short of disassembling them and adding a shorter hose! They should be fine, they just look strange

 

ya I think they're close to the same length as your guys' but what DSM is saying my mounting brackets are "backwards" cause the compression adjuster knob would make contact if not

makes sense to me...my picture doesn't show the adjuster knob and how close it is to the front

 

Makes sense. The longer hose is making up for the volume that the adjuster is taking up in the reservoir.

 

Sooo. What leaf springs are you guys running with these? I'm still in the market for a set and I'm guessing I'll need to be running limit straps with the rear shocks.

 

What you gonna be doing with the truck...crawling, desert runs?

 

I have the all pro standard leafs, dsm said that while the shocks may limit the flex a little bit, they would be fine.
