    Yes you meant travel. Do the calculations for what lengths you need. A buddy of mine runs the 2.5s with Dakars and extra leaf and has no issues. I run them with my expos with no issues. Got shocks and length if your not going for a relocation kit setup.

    Hey @YotaLife

    I saw in your quote the following -

    pr2012-ss-a: (*12” will not work well in stock mounts with most lifts)

    What is this part? I did not see it on the vendor website.

    Thanks!

    Also a question for the rest of you -

    In my quote, the vendor recommended the following-

    FK29 Driveshaft Spacer

    Are any of you using this driveshaft spacer for a 2.5" to 3" lift?

    Is there anything else I need or should be concerned about with this install?

    Those are the 2.0"x12". You need a shock relocation kit, in order to run those.

    All of King's shocks that are custom length, from the 2.0" - 3.0" all start with a "PR". All of those will need some type of modification to your rear suspension, either it be a shock relocation kit or spring under kits that use the stock upper shock mount.

    Yes you need a drive shaft spacer to lower you drive shaft down, in order for it not to have a hard angle going down to your axle. If you don't you will have really bad vibrations or other types of issues. I am running that kit, plus a extra washer to decrease the vibration created by the drive shaft.

    I've already had mine done before this GB. Check out my build page and some of the pictures I've posted on this thread. Good luck with your's though. Kings are the best I've ran so far, and I've had all three big companies, minus Fox coilovers.

    Thanks again - Any other suggestions you might have to help keep me out of trouble with this project? Do you think I will need new brake lines?

    I didn't put this in right away. You can feel it in the floor right when you start to accelerate. Then put in the FK29 and its all smooth again.

    Can I get quotes for Part# PR2012-SS 12.0"? One quote with the adjusters and the other without adjusters. Hope that makes sense
