    Got around to installing my Kings front/rear. What are you guys running clicker wise on the adjustment?
    The rears came all the way on the softest setting and I cant seem to find a happy medium where to leave it. I'm on stock springs and no weight on/in the bed.

    Run em where you like them. My rear Kings should be showing up any minute so I can't speak to the rear yet, but I run my fronts at about 20 clicks from soft. Seems to be a good place for daily driving/light trail riding. If I'm really getting on it then I'll turn them up all the way.

    Not quite the same setup since I have Dakars and I have a rack with some stuff in the bed (~150 - 200 lbs)
    On road I have mine set at 10 clicks. When my bed was filled up with camping stuff, I cranked them up to 16 so it wouldn't handle like a boat. It worked, but was too still once I offloaded.

    Lol you know why, I took it to the pros and they compressed the shit out of it!!

    That’s how mine use to look with 600 too:

    Look how my UCA is angled now though...made me a little nervous at first.

    I’m going to say 13” because they look like the same preload as mine.

    Running 6 clicks in front and 0 clicks in rear (from softest setting) with stock leafs. Installing Icon RXT leafs in a couple of weeks and they are 20% less rate, will see if I need to adjust rear.
