King Shocks Group Buy - Closed

Pretty sure 5 turns in 1 inch, but not 100%. As far as the taco lean, I'd crank it up a few more on the driver side. I've been meaning to do that on mine, but just been too lazy, plus it was always a PIA to make those collars turn.

 

5 turns equals 1"

 

4 exposed threads equal 1" lift.

 

Thanks guys, do you know how much lift they come with from King? I recall about 1.5" but could be wrong.

 

Depends on which variation you got... I purchased the 700# spring with extended droop. With a 100# steel bumper, full skids and sliders I got about 3 inches without adjustment.

This is factory set - I didn't bother making adjustments because it was exactly what I wanted.

 

I have 650lb coils on standard length shocks.

 

King and Fox and other companies tend to set them at 2" from the factory. That where the do all of their testing at.

 

I finally installed my front shocks with 700lb springs for 6in DB lift. Out of the box, they ride great, but tire was rubbing body mount when i made turns and it was 3in lower up front. I took them off and made 5 turns on the adj nut and it brought the front up but rides like crap now. I might be selling my shocks and reordering longer ones.what u guys think?

 

@Kinjo longer shocks will only change the compressed measurement and limit your up travel. what do you have done to the rear? I would suggest lowering the rear to match front height where you liked the ride.
king builds these shocks to a 6" kit specs. they are a threaded body shock, however that doesn't necessarily mean you can gain more ride height so you might be topping it out at ride height. the geometry of the lift kit/DB is what allows for the lift.

 

Well I got UCAs, spindles, KING SHOCKS & wheels/tires done today. I'm a tired dog. Only been sitting on these shocks since late March

 

@Downsouth Motorsports anymore deals for kings coming soon or do I have to wait til october?

 

These things ride buttery smooth! Thanks again @Downsouth Motorsports and @mstudt for the group buy!

 

@Downsouth Motorsports any more updates from King? Not trying to rush you guys, just curious.

I have a trip in early June and would love to have them on by then.

 

The front shocks (25001-619), i ordered should have 18" springs and not 14" springs. I think may be the root cause for a lowered ride height. Has anyone else experience the same problem or is just me?

 

What is the part number stamped on your front springs?

 

@Kinjo per our conversation and the convo with King after they pulled the drawing, it does come with a 14" spring.

 

@SixthSnail it looks like the only thing we are waiting on is 4runner/fj stuff. as soon as it arrives I will ship it the same day.

 

Woohoo! Thanks man!

 

Thanks for informing us DSM. Like Matt I'm patiently waiting for my set for my 4runner

 

My kings are a bit shorter than my oem plus spacer.
