Mid Travel BS 2.0

Call around and talk to the guys. Places like Downsouth can get you Kings with different valving right off the bat vs some places will just have a "stock" valving. Stock valving will be great out of the box but having it tuned a bit for your driving style/weight/ect is nice too.

But definitely call around and see who can get ya the best deal. There is quite a few places to get shocks from

 

Thanks, man. I appreciate the advice. Good looking out!

 

This is the setup I have: kings 2.5 ext/700# coil/remote res/adjuster for the front, light racing uca, 12" 2.5 kings with bamf relocate/remote res/adjuster for the back. Lets say I can do pretty good in the desert.

 

Keep up?
and can I still play in here?

 

Glorious rig. Thanks, shipmate.

 

You haven't been mid for awhile.

 

Good thing I have advice and knowledge every once in a while. Think that's why I'm still let in here lol

 

Has this happened to anyone else? A little over a year ago I put 700lb king coil springs on my fox coilovers and this happened....

 

Coil bind?

 

Autoanything had a promo going on for 20% off the shopping cart yesterday. One of the locals here started a chat online and they rep offered it for a full icon setup. Go take a look if youve got money ready to spend

 

Coil bind.

 

probably get it faster than my replacement shaft. eff Icon at the moment.

 

Thank you but I'm just going to bite the bullet on another coil

Thanks, and how do I avoid that from happening again?

 

It's funny, when you NEED parts they seem to take forever or the vender screws something up which doubles the wait time. But when you just order something as a preventative measure, or just something extra that's not needed, it'll freakin show up the next day. It always makes me laugh when that happens....

 

WORD.

im waiting for shipment (whenever it ships), will get delayed and/or lost.

 

Proper coil or less preload.

 

Couple things. What is the height of your coil uncompressed? 13 or 14"? You have to determine what the max compression limit is on your springs before coil bind. You also hve to determine how much travel your suspension setup is capable of allowing. My suggestion is just go with some Eibach ERS springs as their block height (full compression before bind) is displayed on their info when purchasing their springs if you buy it through Polyperformance.com.

Example. The most my suspension allows for is for 5.5" of shock shaft travel before full bottom out. I have a 14" spring. Block height on it is 7.02" and travel is 6.98." The most I can crank on my top hat before I experience coil bind is 1.5."

Of course I regularly stuff my suspension so it is necessary for me to use all of the shock travel and have the system setup correctly.

 

I have 14" coils. I can't remember exactly but the shock travel is somewhere between 5-5.5". I'll look into the Eibachs for sure
