    A guy close to me is selling his king shocks bnib. They are part#25001-119a for 2005+ tacoma with comp adjusters. Will i be able to achieve 2-3” of lift on my 3rd gen? Thx to all. I also plan on changing the coils to 700lb for my stealth bumper and winch.

    From Marie at HeadStrong:

    King has a 2.5” diameter coilover that comes only in standard travel with a hose reservoir. They do have an optional compression adjustor available. The come built with a 600 lb spring rate.They have steel body and aluminum components. They have a progressive valving. They come preset to provide around 2.5" of lift on the 05-15's and around 1.5" on the 2016+ models. They can be adjusted to provide more or less lift depending on what suitsyour needs. Keep in mind, whenever adjusting a coilover you need to make sure that they are not adjusted to a point that will cause coil bind on compression. For the rear King has a 2.5" with hose reservoir and a 2.5" with hose reservoir and compression adjusters.They developed their shocks to work within the confines of other rear components (like brake lines for example). Since that is the case they are considered a standard travel which means that they will work fine with one of the add-a-leafs or even a small block.However they could be the limiting factory when it comes to a full leaf pack replacement. Some places markets an "extended" travel King shock (both front and rear) but they are generally the same shock with an internal spacer removed which provides around1/4" more travel. Which is usually still very conservative for some of the rear lift leaf packs.
