    I got standards because I found a set on IG: Overlandmarket that had adjusters for $1500. That the price for non-adjusters. Seemed like a good deal. I ordered new UCAs because I aint about to rock some new kings on stock UCAs.

    Well now that I really pay attention to it. I have small movement in the front suspension at very low speeds. It feels/sounds like a small binding movement. Going to check all bolts when I get home. @fl_taco did lowering it fix your issue? Mine is on driver side.

    Aright guys so reporting back after an off road trip. After lowing the suspension to have about 8-9 threads the clunking has gone away. Super smooth now. At 15 clicks harder it feel absolutely perfect off and on road. Also my extended rears are amazing, super flexy.

    Nice. I’m going to have to lower mine a bit then. See if it helps.

    Saw this pic on TW a while back and saved it. I think it was on this thread but can’t find it.

    How is this reservoir mounted?

    Can’t reacall if that was a extended Tundra set fitted with a custom leaf pack on a Taco, or some other application.

    They must have made their own bracket or clamp because the stock location is on the brake line bolts

    That's my truck. Previous owner had another fitting added to the res line to allow it to be mounted there to allow him to use hydro bump stops.
    The res is mounted to a plate that's bolted to the frame. I assume those came from King but not sure.

    Did you remove the coilovers to lower it? Going to try to do it later today. I notice on my truck it’s more of a “creak” noise and I only notice it at very low speeds. Accelerating and decelerating. Also going to try to grease them some more before I lower it.

    Anyone here get their Kings custom valved for their application? Was never mentioned or brought up when I purchased it. Is this possible with the OEM Kings?

    The changing of your valving with King becomes a customized order. If you purchased from a live voice, possibly could have/should have been mentioned but looks like it wasn't even explored. King on average charges about $100 per shock for custom builds. We do this regularly with customers who have specific needs vs. a "stock" set up...keep in mind, spring (rate) swaps are no additional charge from King, but these do go through a custom build cycle as they don't pull existing inventory off shelves and swap different springs on them.

    Well damn, I wish the vendor brought it up. Will the OEM valving satisfy most needs for the occasional user seeking high speed fire roads, some trailing, with 300 lbs of armor? Got the 700 lbs springs also.

    Absolutely man and more! 300lbs is pretty light still.

    Yes, when I ordered from Wheelers I got custom valving because of full armor and a shell.
