    That’s good to know. The only reason I went to the 12-13 threads on the left side is because of the taco lean. If I hear a clunking on droop I’ll definitely lower it. Hopefully it will be easier to lower then lift. I had a little hard time adjusting it with 650 pound springs. Ty!

    RPM G did my alignment as well. Super cool peeps out there. How many threads you got up front? Definitely sitting higher than mine. What size tires?

    Finally did a thing this past weekend. Installed all the above components. Took a bit longer than expected, from Friday night to Sunday afternoon with some drink and pizza. Before installing, everyone from DSM, Total Chaos, and King shocks were all great with their customer service with all the questions I had. Local to North Virginia, I did the alignment at High Tech and Auto, great folks and knowledgeable. With alignment done, it is now time to push these kings. I sucked and did not do a before measurement, so i have no clue what the actual overall ride height gained. Doing all the torque checks within the next two weeks.

    Currently keeping the stock tires until summer, not sure what I'll move to in terms of tires and rims. Posting the picture to give those out there what the stock tires look like with Kings and HD OME leafs.

    Question to everyone out there, what setting is everyone running their adjusters at for highway, backcountry roads, and technical trails?

    I have a chance to pick up a used King OEM 2.5 setup for a really great price. My only concern is that it comes with 700# coils, but I don't have any extra weight on my truck yet.

    Is it a bad idea to run the 700# coil without extra weight? What could I do to mitigate any potential side effects?

    I have the same but have yet to install them. The only side effects I see would be more lift with less turns on the coilovers? The coilovers look easy to swap out with the Kings having the notched lower spring seat and I'm sure some here would be interested in a trade.

    Can you confirm? Are you running 700 lb springs?
