    Well the front set finally showed up, getting impatient sitting on parts. I told my daughter the babies are here, so she helped me set up a sleep system for the night. As for the rear, I ended up passing on the Tundra rear setup, and decided to go with the King 25001-121 EXT built as I’ll be going with the EL095R Dakar Leafpacks. I spoke with Sonny at Downsouth Motorsports and as soon as they are done being built at King he would get them out to me. Again the waiting sucks, but definitely looking forward to the rear set getting in, and installed.

    Having the adjusters is the best choice I ever selected for the Kings, worth every penny :thumbsup:

    Just did the rear install last night with a friend, it’s a Bajakit, the adjusters are pretty cool, still have to do UCA’s and front coilovers

    I’m getting a weird sound coming from my driver side wheel well area. It’s like a squeaky sound. I have Kings with total chaos UCAs. Has anyone else had a sound like this come from that area after installing a similar setup?

    I can also feel a clunky feeling coming from that area too. Kinda feels like metal hitting. Could This also be the uca?

    Check for any marks? (Tire rubbing uca, uca hitting hose, tire rubbing cab mount area)

    This is usually the sound of the uniball breaking in when new along with a slow steering feel. My Icon uniball on the passenger side squeeks and drives me nuts, I have cleaned and used dry lubricant twice and the noise returns. This is why I will be upgrading to the dynajoints sooner than later, sounds like this drive me nuts. I have gone over the front end to check and recheck torque specs several times to verify everything is right too.

    Looks awesome! Experiencing any rubbing? I’m debating between 285/75/16 or making the jump to 17 inch rims and going 275/70/17

    What I'm dealing with right now. If anyone has a fix for this please let me know. Otherwise the shop that did my install said they just need to break in.
