    Mine are like that and I have a little under 2.5" of lift. It's the 13" coils:pout: I am going with 14" when I upgrade to 700#

    I just met up with WiLLTaco and I'm for sure upgrading to the 700s, his truck sits a lot higher than mine :annoyed:

    Has anyone leveled their 3rd gen with King 2.5 resi coilovers and rear shocks (stock UCA and leaf springs, 1" front max lift)? Can you safely do 50+ mph prerunner style whoops with this set up?

    I run mine both at close to the softest setting. I stiffen up the rear if I have weight in the bed, usually steel targets. Helps not bottom out as easy if I want to get on the GO pedal while leaving a shooting area.

    Ok, got all the goodies. Hopefully being installed tomorrow. :fingerscrossed:. After all the reading, i believe that 8/9 threads is about 2.25" of lift.

    Put mine in yesterday. I have the Icon RXT pack on option #1 and have 24 inches from fender to hub. I'll go out and measure the front in a bit, but it damn near looks level without any added preload. It's a 700 spring with adjs and extended travel. Pumped.

    The factory preload is exactly like yours. I also got the #700 ext. I wonder if i should even touch the factory preload.

    alignment being done as well. Now drive around with stock wheels until i make up my mind. still debating over 285 vs 275. I just do not want to do a CMC. Wheels i am looking at is the RRW RR5-v or RR4-V.

    How did the install come out?

    Believe it or not I’m happy with 285 but been reading up on great reviews with 275/75 and been thinking I should have gone skinner... lots say about MPG which is a plus.
