Northern Virginia Roll Call

Morning guys

 

I have been looking at kings.

But, i have questions that hopefully some of yall can answer.

1st. I want to keep my dakar hds. Do I need to special order extended rear shocks due to the height of the dakars? I ask this because I only see deaver 1.5s for sale with the "standard" rear shocks.

2nd. Will wheeler's bumps be fine with king 700s with mid travel? Or should I just buy the king bumps?

 

I have #2 setup. No need for king air bumps, unless 1. You have too much $$, and 2. You will be jumping your truck.

Do you need F&R matching shocks? I have Bilstein B110 in the rear, along with extended brake lines. And Dakar Hd and the extra AAL. Works fine for me.

 

Oh, ok. Cool.

I wont be jumping. The front and rear would just be so its matching. I didnt even think about the b110s.

 

What ucas are you using?

 

That looks about right for the yearly charge for these trucks here in Va mine was $868

 

The tax would not be an issue then at that point

 

They are just a cheaper alternative. I think they were close to $200 for the pair. But more droop

I have TC UCAs.

Will be getting different LCAs too by the end of the year

 

@Superman910 is running kings front and rear. I am pretty sure @Downsouth Motorsports offers extended kings for the rear.

 

yea you can.. or can do the BAMF relocate and get 12" smoothies

 

Slip joint or yoke?

 

That would be a nice option...speaking of which, when are you doing the BAMF relocate?

 

If anything.. next year.

The rest of this year will just be camping and LCAs

 

Oh I agree. PPT is complete bullshit and that's the price of a Prinsu rack that I can't buy now because I have to pay Virginia for owning something nice. WTF?

 

just buy it.. your kids dont need school supplies

 

The thought had crossed my mind.

 

Do you need kings? I thought Your lift did well just needed a front bumper?

Most people just run super bumps or timbren. All those fancy ones are nice but cost a lot. Like David said not necessary unless you are jumping shit. Also unless you need king rears and just want to buy them not necessary. B110 with Dakar’s and bumps is fine. Extend the brake lines and maybe a flip kit to maximize clearance and travel. Take the savings and use it for something better for camping or armor wise. Just my 2 cents also are you set on kings? I’m leaning towards ADS when i upgrade My front.

 

ADS are just very hard to contact when you have questions. I dont doubt their products, but have heard that.

EDIT: you need kings

 

ADS is near impossible to contact. You have to call them for like a week to get through.

 

Why is the customer service for so many of these companies utter shit?
