    Ah damn good but not good to know. Pretty sure I have the non -D. What would be the big difference? Less travel?

    I placed a call into King yesterday with some questions. They mentioned that the Ext length front shocks come set for about a 1" lift to level a stock '16 tacoma. He mentioned that is the optimal ride height for their shock even though they are adjustable. I see many people lifting a bit more with King shocks and wanted to get some feedback about this.

    I added about .75 or so. I show about 1" of threads on mine. Rides well. I have 650lb coils on it right now. You don't want to crank them down a lot.

    Couple more questions:
    I have sliders and front 2 skids in aluminum - DCSB 4x4 with no plans for winch or steel bumper - would 600# or 650# springs be better?
    If I do Icon AAL in the rear do I need the extended D rear dampers?
    If I raise the front about 1.5" with the Icon AAL in the rear I would still have the stock rake? and would I need UCA?

    I've been waiting a couple days to hear back from them too regarding a couple questions so I can finalize my order and send it in. Has anyone heard back from them recently?

    I've been checking their activity every day and I see that they're on, I'm just waiting on a response myself. Must be a ton of people trying to get in on this.

    Neither did I, but his response was basically "that's how we do it and we've done it before." I still don't like it though.
