Fox vs kings, little help please.

Oh, I gotcha. Hmmm.... I should ask for the same.. heheh...

How much lift is that giving you now? 3"? Looks lower in your pics unless your tires are filling the wheel wells. Then again, I also don't have a clue as to what I'm talking about. Nice setup already, btw.

 

The 5100's are now maxed out but the weight has the about where they were when set at 2.5, they only rub if I try real hard...

 

Kings are not ext travel, but when I was looking for the answer someone mentioned that the extra travel is less than an inch.

If you're looking at leaf packs I have the allpro standards and so far they feel great with my kings. I also have the flip kit and timberens.

 

You serious about 7/8 being huge? To me thats not a big deal, especially not enough to rule out kings.

 

Ok 7/8 is something to think about but how much additional travel does a new upper arm and coils give a 4x4? Just trying to figure out the %
Also anyone here have a 4 door long bed with ato armor and a bumper want to chime in on how the fox's hold the extra weight?

 

I have fox 2.5 remote resi coilovers with an elite front plate bumper, sliders, full skids, winch soon, rear bumper with tire carrier soon.

I had downsouth motorsports use 700# king springs instead of the stock 650# fox springs to accommodate for the additional weight.

When I went to kevins (ATO) to pick up my skids I saw his fox 2.0's with stock fox springs and they were almost completely compressed. This is what led me to upgrading the springs. I think the fox springs would be great on a truck without armor, but I can't say how they would be on a heavier truck.




edit: just thought of something else to add. Before I installed all of my skids, my front shocks topped out a lot. going over speed bumps or pot holes or anything on the trail was enough to cause them to fully extend and cause a thud. Now that I have the additional weight on my truck I have not had that problem at all.


I also have all pro expedition leaf packs in the rear which are designed for a heavier truck, so I have a stiff ride, but still way better than stock. I find myself enjoying it more and more all the time.

 

Thanks for taking the time to reply! Big help!!!1

 

at nearly an Inch at the shock location translates to more out at the wheel.
