    thanks for your help. order placed. i was working with a different individual. I'm trying to get black anodized extended travels so I'm not expecting any parts soon. my biggest concern is whether i ordered what i think i ordered. triple checking since these ain't quite cheap.

    I would go with the timbrem ubolt flip kit from wheelers. Great deal, and I love mine.

    I would do break line for sure, I have the dakar leaf pack and I went with 3".

    I was originally going to go with the OEM version, but Total Chaos suggested this route since I was adding the Deaver Expedition II leaf pack. They said it would give a better ride and get a little more travel out of it.

    Yes, the OEM version has a similar length. In retrospect, I would’ve done the flip kit and looked at doing the 12” piggyback, which would’ve probably given a better ride.

    King said it would be another month for me, and they showed up that day. I have lost faith in their customer service but at least this time their wrongness went my way. Installing Monday!

    I get more of a thud sound, but I think it’s from the Deavers. I can’t 100% determine it one way or the other. I’m told that the way the Kings are valved can cause a chirp or maybe more of a hiss. I’ve not heard that yet.

    Installed front with adjusters Friday afternoon and took it out Saturday. This is my first car / truck with performance suspension. My bikes have always had top notch, even custom suspension.

    THE GOOD
    Road manners were better than stockers. It's still a truck and rides a bit plusher. Slow trail riding, crawling not a lot of difference.

    THE GREAT
    Washboard, potholes, ruts, small rocks etc at speed. Well the faster you go it just sucks up everything. Simply amazing. Every time I was surprised by a pothole and braced for the hit it never happened.

    THE BAD
    I could feel the hits at speed from the back where I have BOSS shocks with reservoirs and AAL. While the BOSS are far superior to the stockers, they are not nearly as plush as the front KINGS. I put some weight by the tailgate and that helped. I am going to put more weight on the tail but I am afraid the bad news is I now need Kings with adjusters for the rear :spending:
