3rd Gen Owners with King Coilovers

NICE man! I don't have long travel or the 16" coils, but should I be alright with the 14" 700# coils on standard LCA and t/c UCA?

 

CURRENT SETUP, 600# COILS, BUNCH OF PRELOAD

 

Yea seems like you do have a lot of preload, go with the 14 inch 700's.

 

For sure! so am I correct to say, less preload=more droop?

 

I have the Deaver U402 Expedition II’s on the back. My truck sits level as of today, which is why I have extra pre load on there. A little rake wouldn’t be a bad thing 1/2” to an 1”.

 

Yes and less of a stiff ride

 

Exactly, I actually a rake of 1/2"-1" like you said, just so If I add weight in the bed, my rear doesn't sit lower than the front(well if I can help it) thanks!

 

Awesome! Thanks for the info!!

 

Come do it DIY at Gearhead Garage. If available, I can help you.

 

I need some final help on rear suspension parts.

Have already decided on a Deaver U402 leaf pack, Archive Garage hammer hanger, and Archive u-bolt flip with 2.7" bump.

I want to stuff some shocks in there that utilize 12" travel that this set-up has. Only concern is the required 1.5" wheel spacers. Already running -12mm offset wheels and it seems like more than enough for me. I wouldn't run any spacers up front to avoid further jacking up the front steering geometry. Additional 1.5" poke in just the back will probably look dumb.

Otherwise I would just to the king rr's (#25001-121A-EXT) and leave it at that. I can't find the travel specs for these shocks but I recall seeing ~10" of travel from somewhere online.

What do you think I should do?

 

Mmm that king blue

 

Finally got my suspension installed last week. Rain prevented me from getting pics earlier, but I snapped a few recently during a brief period of sunlight.

 

not hating. but you're a 4x2. that's some serious mall crawling action. yo.

 

Anyone seen the new 3in coilovers for Tacoma’s?

 

Are you talking about the 3.0 shocks that @Chex808 posted 3 posts up?

 

I like mine! I’ll post more of a review of the King 3.0s later on.

 

3.0 with Total Chaos UCA's and Deaver leaf packs. I have about 1.5" of preload and an extra two threads on the driver side to accommodate for the extra weight on that side from the driver. I will be doing Total Chaos LCA's in the very near future. The on road ride is phenomenal and offroad they handle the woops and the bumps as you would expect. Like butter.

 

Sweet setup.

 

I thought the 3.0 came with finned reservoirs and a different top hat. Those kinda look like what I’m running which are 2.5s

 

Same here.. maybe he meant 3.0” worth of lift?
