geekhouse23's "LIFE'S WAITING TO BEGIN" Overland & Home build and all the Adventures in between!

Until you go for a ride in a truck with custom valved Kings


My rear Icons are getting removed tomorrow and sold. Swapping in some shit shocks until I get the Kings

 

How much are the kings you have and what's the benefit of custom valved?

 

This thread name though. Sub. Thanks again for that daily driven sticker from like last year! Getting really close to being able to slap it on. In the middle of painting my axle housing soon.

 

Should've seen it before "Caitlyn: I'm a girl but I have balls build"

 

I bought my fronts from another member who was stripping his truck for a trade in. If I had the money I would've bought his whole set up at that time. I got the fronts for 900$ on a mostly fresh rebuild. I removed the 700# springs and replaced with 600#

 

This right love my kings specifically valved

 

I should have everything done when I want..waiting on ONE thing sucks

Hard to imagine Dakars flattening with how stiff they are! Do you have the AAL in the pack? Haven't heard too many complaints with Icons really..I'd have to do more research on them.

Can't beat Kings

Same with anything custom..stock sucks! But seriously, better valving to cater your needs. I can see stock valving be stiff because it has to cover a variety of application out of the box so the valve ranging is bigger.

Thanks! No worries man! Welcome to the shit show!

Not too shabby..had to change it up a bit now that it's heading in a #EAF/Overland direction

 

And #builtnotbought direction

 

Such a steal!!

 

To answer the question valving changes the rates for compression and rebound. In most cases what the King or ICON set for their direct OEM replacement will be great for most. My front were set up by the previous owner cause he liked the skinny pedal so they get progressively stiffer (harder to bottom) in the compression side. My rears will be set up similarly.

 

You must be new here..haha started from the bottom..

 

I have the first overload on the dakars removed and no AAL, so they flattened a little, they still have a little arch in them. having the first overload removed lets the dakars travel more.

First. Pic is fucking hilarious. Second can you post a link to your build thread? I'm on tapatalk rn and don't have my computer. Thanks

Thanks bro (and yes we're actually brothers)

 

Thanks for the info!

Don't bro me, unless you know me

 

Ok man, just PM me when you are ready. I'll be at Avid tomorrow if my BAMF kit shows up today. Going to start building a template for frame plates. Just seeing if its possible to fit cardboard and cut it to build an acad file

 

Posted this to 45acp's build..I CAD like him too:
