    @Downsouth Motorsports :stirthepot: Pretty sure like it was said above, King stopped putting them in with every order. And I was saying the eat a dick comment because thats what Jason does and he apparently has got one with every order.

    I don't see why that has to be an 'or' question. Let's do both.

    And I'll put $5 on the first Saturday night after the influx of FBI users.

    @jberry813 just wants everyone else to enjoy eating dicks as much as he does.. its kind of his thing:thumbsup:

    as far as the pin wrench, king is back to packaging them with their OE kits (for the most part)..

    as I have mentioned in the past, they are not recommended to be adjusted on the truck due to the risk of loosening the top cap or lower rod end, or jumping threads on the pre load ring.
    it is best to remove them, use a spring compressor and adjust by hand. 5 threads is roughly an inch of ride height change.

    Thanks for the replies about my adjuster tool question. I actually compressed the springs on the bench prior to install and got them almost spot on for my desired ride height. I just made my own tool with a 5/16" punch and some DOM. The right angle end can sneak in between the adjuster ring and the coil bucket for that last few degrees you need to get around the resi fittings.

    Also, for those who have the newer style resi brackets, any issues with the wheel well hitting the brackets or reservoir? Mine was just about touching the inner fender so I cut the bracket and mounted the reservoir as low as possible but it's still close.

    For you guys running 12" shocks in the rear relocated how many inches over stock did you need to go on the brake lines?

    Is +4" enough

    Yes. When I had Expo's and BAMF towers with 12" shocks, we were able to droop out the suspension with the stock lines, but they were very tight. So 4" longer would be fine

    It's one of those things that's better to have then not to have.. it's not much fun changing out a brake line on the trail

    Perfect thanks! I know my buddy's truck on 10" shocks is at the limit of the brake lines so I wasn't sure 4" would be enough
